Sunday 17th October. To Arequipa.


A cock-up with the buses meant we ended up travelling on the stinky 'chicken' bus rather than the deluxe tourist bus. Lots of sweat and body odour plus a loo that did not work or that no one was brave enough to use.

Vendors where picked up every couple of hours who tried to sell us fried food, drinks, jellies and, in one case, religion.

Arrived on time on Arequipa and took a taxi to the Casa de Los Pinguinos, House of the Penguins. The relevance? The Proprietor, Alix, like Penguins. Google, 'Penguins, Arequipa' and you'll find them.

We'll probably spend a couple of days here and plan the next stages. Everything in Arequipa is walkable.

Quiet night in with a huge Chinese takeaway.
