Currently in Arequipa and will be for the nxext two days (which is lucky as the hotel we are in is AMAZING...so much better than the hostels we were staing in hahaha).
The night bus last night wasn´t the best. Pretty cold. But at least everyone was in coach class like us two! Film started at half 6 this morning - waking up to guns and screaming isn´t the best way to wake up after a couple of hours sleep.
We arrived sometime around 8 and the rooms weren't ready so we headed out for breakfast. After 50 minutes Katharine managed to get her fruit salad...not good times...rage time!
Arequipa is such a nice city. One of the best ones we have visited. It always helps when the weather is nice which it definitely is here woop bring on the burn. There are churches a plenty here as usual - but the architecture here is some of the best. Lots of tourists though.
The city is surrounded by three volcanoes and we went to see a mummy which was discovered at the top of one of the volcanoes. Well actually the mummy girl had fallen down the volcano a bit so its face was all weather beaten. It was really well preserved but REALLY SCARY! Defo buying a picture of that to show you all! They have another 14 mummies but sadly we didnçt get to see those bad boys. Its all a bit strange though looking at dead people who still look like people. Not sure.
Spent the rest of the afternoon not really doing anything. Chillaxing. Burning. Being shagged (as in tired according to one of the other boys).
We´re off out to try guinea pig tonight so we shall report back. Also off to Colca Canyon tomorrow so hopefully see some condors woopwoop.
PS all of the people we have met on the tour are great. Only a couple of strangeos have started to come out now hahaha!
