White city Arequipa
We were done with Puno, so we took a 6 hrs busride to Arequipa, which was very nice because of the great views.
There was evena bit of entertainment during the ride... We passed 5 men who were shouting at the bus and waving with bustickets, trying to make it stop, but the busdriver ignored them and kept on driving. When we later reached a roadblock, a taxi drove up to the bus with the 5 very angry men in it. The busdriver and another guy from the buscompany began shouting at the men, and before we knew it they were all on the street hitting and kicking each other! Soonafter a police officer arrived and stopped all the nonsense. The last 45 minutes of the ride a one legged man was shouting about the unfairness of the world and showing his wooden leg to the rest of the passengers, we dugour earphones deeper in andcontinued lama spotting.(if you have ever taken the train from Amsterdam to Utrecht you must know the shouting ex-homeless guy. Well, this guy must have been his teacher...)
In Arequipa we walked around and watched a street parade with dressed up people dancing. It seems that everywhere we go, they have a fiesta of some sort. We also visited a monastery which looked very nice with bright colored walls.
Tomorrow we will begin our tour to the Colca Canyon for two days, and after that we will try to climb volcano Misti (5822 mt!) for two days... Wish us luck!
