Posada Del Puente Arequipa

... thing.
I must also buy bottled water and drink only this. Although a big city, they do not have clean filtered water for consumption.

Dinner consists of a piece of bread, fruit and tea. The favorite tea of Peru is Mate de coca (made from coca leaves). It is quite good and helps with altitude sickness. I will be drinking lots of this on our trip to Machu Picchu. The evenings are noisy and I finally questioned my family about the whistle ...

... evening, from where it´ll be off to Nazca, and the final leg up to Lima to catch my plane home.
You might remember (or not even give a ****, no probs - I´m more than happy to remind you!!)that I was off base for a few days while sailing around Lake Tits for 2 days on Sat and Sun. We saw 3 islands - the floating islands of Uros, (yep, I know I´d been there before but the duplication was unavoidable in order to reach the other 2 - Amantani and Taquile ...

... read about (and if you wanted to know about her more I think there is more accurate literature than my ramblings), but I do like to let you all know about the really good things we have done and this happened to be an unexpected highlight. Plus really nothing else happened in Arequipa apart from the fact we found a can of Tuna called ‘Fanny Tuna’ and I had an avocado with a funny shape stone in it!

... forklare gaardsdagens parantes, saa handlede det om, at der paa hotellet, hvor vi sov paa Colca Canyon-turen, gik en skoen kaele-alpaca rundt. Den havde opfoert sig eksemplarisk, men paa sidstedagen barrikaderede den porten foran hotellet, og da vi gik ud (en og en, for der var ikke plads til at aabne laagen pga. kraeet) fik vi hver isaer en hilsen i form af en snotter med paa vejen. Men saa proevede vi ogsaa det!

... beast. Texturally, it's quite a chicken like meat (no real surprise there). Slightly stronger flavour than chicken - maybe guinea fowl more than chicken. But really really tasty. Also (this bit's a bit sick actually), towards the latter half of the meal, I was becoming increasingly fascinated by the head. It was whole. The cranium was intact. I started to wonder if the brain was in there..? And so in I went. From a psychologist's point of view, it was ...

... comme à Salta. C'est très troublant. Ensuite je suis allée faire un balade jusqu'au mirador et la j'ai croisé le bus touristique qui faisait le tour des points de vue. C'était 35 soles mais le chauffeur avait apparemment très envie que je joigne le tour et du coup il me l'a fait à 10 soles. C'était pas terrible mais sa compagnie et celle d'Alexia l'assistante était très agréable. Je suis ensuite allée chez le coiffeur avant de passer la nuit dans le Bus pour Nasca.

Jour 6 - Arequipa

Tôt le matin, nous arrivons à Arequipa, la ville blanche au pied du volcan Misti. Située à 2300 m, c'est notre porte d'entrée des Andes et quelques-unes unes d'entre nous sentent leur tête s'alourdir et la naissance d'une petite nausée. Difficile de ...
