We departed at 07:00 for our longest journey of 10 hours !!!!
We travelled through spectacular scenery, all desert mainly, which varied from large to very small dunes or rocky expanses by the sea to rocky expanses forming the walls of large valleys.
The road at times had no barriers and sheer drops into the sea. This was not helped with proliferation of crosses to those who had been victims of the corners we were going passed or the sheer drops.
We had a traditional Peruvian lunch comprising of crayfish soup with the crayfish and prawns with their shells still on, sea bass and then fruit.
We arrived in Arequipa at dusk having had a glimpse of the high peaks of the Andes. We are looking forward to tomorrow and are sorry that are posts have been a little slow so far. We are aiming to try and improve their regularity as we carry on our journey towards Machu Picchu.
