yo yo! im in cusco!! hehe i´ve done sooo so much, wait let me see what i last said to you all!...
oh yeh nazca lines, dune buggying sandboarding....i grave robbed haha, well, borrowed a human vertbre! we were in arequipa for a day and spent it chilling by the pool and sunbathing and then the following day we left for colca valley! On the way there we saw the two volcanoes El Misti and Pichu Pichu! Colca Valley was absolutely stunning! on the way there we passed through a few different ecosystems and you could see the progression of vegetation-which was awsome cos thats what we studied in geog! the hotel was lush and the views were amazing! sooo we went for a walk up on of the hills and saw some tombs built into the mountain side for "special incas/people". Everyone is born with eyes and ears and they can look and can hear, but you know when you are special, after much teaching cos then you see and you listen! it was awsome what our tour guide gina was saying about feeling the energy of the place you are in and dont just be tourists. From the top of the HUGE hill you could see the steps of land and how differemt steps create different temps to grow different crops!
The following morning we had to get up at 5am as we were going to the Colca Canyon-the biggest and deepest in the world! over 4000m at the deepest point from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the canyon!!! So after 4 helpings of brekkie, we arrived there at like 8am to see the giant condors-3m wingspan!! woo! its so hard to describe the beauty of Colca Valley...!
Then we left the Canyon to head back to Arequipa for the night again. We stopped at a few places along the way to take photos and stuff and buy little gifts or whatever. And also for dinner and had a buffet in which again i had at least 4 helpings plus dessert! its sooo bad, im eating soooo much haha! Back at the hotel, we had drinks by the pool again; sangria and went to have tea...i had "th trilogy of meats"-alpaca, beef and ...ostrich! hehe! yum it was sooo good!
so today we have arrived in cusco. we left the hotel in Arequipa at 4am, transferred to the airport and after a short flight, arived in Cusco! it was raining...NOT good for someone whos lost they´re jacket haha!! oopsy! so wé´ve not long come back from a mahoosive brekkie! hehe and we have a free day to do whatever so emily´s off to gingo alley to buy a poncho or coat haha! im having such an awsome time, its fantastic and im sitting here smiling! lol...nob! everyones pretty awsome so far, trips have been really good and we´ve come sooo far!
