First stop: Arica

Over two weeks ago, we embarked on our first big trip. The first stop was supposed to be Arica, the northernmost city in Chile. However, our plans were initially thwarted by a strong cold. Riccardo unfortunately spent both days in bed with a fever, cough, and chills, while I tried to get as much medication, food, and drink as possible, which was not easy since the nearest major supermarket was 3.5 km away. So we didn't really see much of Arica itself besides the beach, but in my opinion and impression, we didn't miss much either. So the start of our journey was not the best, but it could only go uphill from there!
