Surfin' - whoooo!

We only got back from Colca on Wednesday, when all suddenly on Thursday morning we felt like - hey let's go down to the sea today!
That was pretty cool - random - but awesome!

So we got on the bus in Arequipa around lunch time. It was about a 2.5 hour drive. Again, the landscape on the way was incredible. Going down to the sea, it is mostly just desert. But since it only stopped raining a couple of weeks ago, there are these random lakes now - in the middle of the desert!

Also we got into a little traffic jam on the way down there. So because it was lunch and mainly because I was bored I started eating some crackers. It didn't take long until this little peruvian girl with her huge black eyes stood right next to me pointing at my crackers and then mumbling something to her mom. I took some of my crackers and handed them to her - she took them quickly with her little hands and sat back on her mommy's lap. She was just adorable!

Later on we ate lunch in a restaurant at the beach. For the rest of the time we took a walk along the beach! LOVE the beach!
The water was really freezing because of the streams down here... But it still felt amazing just to put our feet in. 5000m difference in altitude in only 3 days - phu - quite the adventure!


Oh and in case you were wondering about my little statement in the last entry about how many people can fit in a bus - depending if peruvian or non-peruvian way : Well on the way home we had to take one of these tiny little mini vans to the next village. Normally there fit about 10 people in that bus - that would be the non peruvian way. But in Peru there is about 25 people in that bus! Just try not to breath and you are fine!
