Antofagasta
Yes it sounds like something that Arnie Schwarzzenegger might say, but it's in fact a city in the north of Chile. It's set in one of the driest parts of the world in a moonscape of grey dirt set between mountains and sea in a strip a few kilometres wide. Once part of Bolivia it was taken over by Chile in the 19th century following a war. This is important because the latest James Bond movie has been filing here with uniforms that look a lot like Bolivia's much to the concern of some locals apparently.
The Hallyburtons live in a two storey house not too far from the sea, but then no-one is far from the sea in this narrow strip of land.
