That´s right people. Last night we tried guinea pig for the very first time. What does it taste like? Hate to say the cliche thing but HONESTLY it tastes just like chicken. Although a lot of bones and a lot of effort for not very much meet. Katharine also tried Alpacca stake but it´s definitely not the best taste sensation. The guinea pig had a face, including teeth, brain and claws - pictures to come. Will would like to take this opportunity to apologise to Rosie... sorry little sister!
Today we woke up at 2.30am to catch a 3am bus to Colca Canyon - the deepest Canyon in the world! Turns out it´s a lot deeper than the Grand Canyon which was a shock to us both. Who knew Peru had so much cool stuff!? Anyway we saw some traditional villages, a lot of Condor birds, some alpaccas and Llamas (and some other little llama-like thing but can´t remember the name of it).
Out our highest point, 4910m, Katharine definitely felt some altitude sickness kick in so fingers crossed she´ll be fine next week when we attempt Machu Pichu. Off out tonight with a few people from the tour - let´s hope Arequipa has some great nightlife (complete with some Lady Gaga.) Im sure there´ll be plenty of stories tomorrow.... haha
