Day 3 Thursday March 7th Lima to airport


The taxi driver unscrews the “Taxi” sign from the top of his car. He is interrogated by the airport police and we are sitting in the back with our knees together clutching our passports and back-packs trying to look like members of his family

Arequipa. 90 minute flight from Lima. Casa deVila, room 117. Katie and Sarah stayed here last year and it’s very good. $38/night. Our 5-day Spanish class doesn’t start until Monday but I now know some Spanish. Estoy enfermo; mal de alturo/soroche. We are at 2km/8kft and have been OK at that height before, perhaps it’s a little food poisoning as well. Higher still up to Calca Canyon tomorrow for two days of hiking….
