Satin Shoes Go Camping
And now to Huaraz, where I am now but am leaving tomorrow for Lima. Amazing views on the way here of stunning mountains and extraordinary rocks formations - sat on the roof seats again and got covered in dust. Made a nice change from the miles and miles of utterly arid but somehow still rubbish-strewn desert we had been experiencing of Peru. This place is at 3100m - altitude sickness height for a few of our party, and we have further heights in the rest of our trip. Decided on impulse to go white water rafting yesterday and had an amazing time - got drenched and laughed a lot when Matt fell in. Had knackered arms though, and managed to knacker myself further by going canyoning today: aka abseil down twelve waterfalls. Absolutely one of the best things I've ever done, apart from the fact that you bounce through a freezing cold waterfall and have to shiver for several hours...the cold was only forgotten when I was mostly occupied with how much faith I was putting in a bit of rope.
And now I am going to have yet more chicken and chips (a bargain at 80p for a quarter of a chicken) and several beers. Am guessing lots of you are having post-exam fun, please please keep emailing me - I love hearing from you, truly.
Joe - yep, moving straight to Londres and cannot be persuaded to visit Staines/Woking/some other commuter hole (sorry!) so you'll just have to visit instead.
Janie - you must have some gossip by now, yes please on an update!
Laura and Ellie - the masters are at their end ish? Yay of nay? Thanks for the msg Laura, you'll be loving my current chic state - school waterproof in college green and deeply uncool hiking boots (have discovered that hip ones do in fact exist). Also bought a fake roxy jumper in bright blue and pink today because the only alternative was an Peruvian old-lady cardie...
Gaskell! I disapprove of your silence! How went Old Boys and I have had my fingers crossed constantly for exams. Would love to hear from you.
Many snogs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
