... 3 maand gekuist en het liep er vol met katten) en zijn we bij de concurrentie gaan eten (dessert night). Voor een zacht prijsje kreeg Astrid een gigantische pannekoek gevuld met een massa vers fruit en overgoten met een overheerlijke chocoladesaus. Ellen keek maar triestig naar haar broodjes met confituur... <br><br>Na het stevige ontbijt zijn we de wijngaarden gaan bezoeken. We kregen er een korte uitleg over hoe de wijn en pisco vroeger gemaakt werd ...

... room to the dorm room. Good thing theres nothing of value in my bag to steal. Not like I have many clothes or anything considering I wear the same two outfits and its more a decision on the weather rather than fashion choice. Perhaps in Cuzco Ill buy some Alpaca wear or something.<br><br>Anyway, I miss the kids already. They were watching Up when I left and were eating popcorn. A lot of them were sad that I was leaving but at least we had our proper goodbye.<br><br>Update - I ...

... there are some strange lines in the desert. You can fly over them in a small plane if you want, but we heard that you couldnt see much so didn't bother with it. Just saw them from the highway as we passed in the bus. Good enough for us. We weren't in much form for a bumpy plane ride after the wine tasting anyway. <br><br>10 hour overnight to Arequipa in the south then...

... ziemlich komisches gefühl in der wüste von peru mundart musik zu hören.<br><br>huacachina ist ein ziemlich verschlafener ort, welcher um eine kleine lagune herumgebaut wurde umgeben von riesigen sanddünen, welche man, wenn man sie dann mal erklummen hat mit dem sandboard hätte runter rasen können.

We spent the afternoon at the nature reserve where we saw two gorgeous beaches (one red sand, one white sand), and I swam in the clearest water I´ve ever been in. We also stopped at a restaurant at one of the fishing ports on the reserve and I tried the famed Ceviche for the 1st time. It was amazing. I don´t know how I let myself be in Peru for a month with ...
