Part 2 da historia de Esteve.

Alrighty Then.

So since our first few nights in arequipa, post hot tub party, we have both been relatively busy working. I was on the bar every night until it closed and cami was doing some reception and lazing around and some shopping i think.. Not too stressful, i think she wasenjoying spending other peoples money.

So we did that for a week and a half, i got fairly sick of it pretty quickly, Cami is still loving it. But anyway we decided that i would leave and go to Lima for a week or so until after independance (another big party for cam to plan) and then cam would meet me in Lima. But first: Huacachina.

Huacachina is a crazy little oasis in the middle of the desert, mostly populated by backpackers and restaurants. But its the place for sandboarding and dune buggys and all that stuff. Its actually a really cool place, the desert is pretty amazing. Anyway so we splashed out and took the sandboarding buggy tour thing that everyone does. You basically scream around the dunes for a few hours doing dangerous things in a giant buggy, then hop out at the biggest dunes you can find and slide down them on a piece of wood. Usually face first lying down, the dunes were a little too big to surf down (about 200m up mas or menos) and freaking steep. Anyway that was awesome except i fell off the board when i was trying to surf it down and almost broke my thumb. The guide didnt seem too worried, so i must assume worse stuff happens all the time. Anyway so we finished and i went to the doctor, did all the x ray stuff, and im all AOK.. Just have a large thumb for a while and a big sandburn on my back. Good fun really.

So i left after that and headed North for Lima, Peru`s Capital. Cam is still in Arequipa, but she might have to let you know how she is herself. Lima is alright,big and polluted and rich (comparitively). It even has a shopping mall and a maccas and Kfc and everything. And its meant to be a beach city, but from what i understand it is constantly grey (worse than london atm) and the water is polluted, so not too much laying on the Beach. Ive met some freinds from Sucre here and should be able to kill another 6 days or so before we can finally head north and get to the nice beaches and hot weather again...

So until then Cya

Steve.
