The intrepid explorers plunged further into Peru today. Onwards to the country's second city of Arequipa. I think I'm going to have to learn to pack all of my cables and chargers away faster as it seemed to take ages this morning to get everything packed. I think the couple of pisco sours at the bar last night might have had something to do with the slow start however. The airport was a bit chaotic but I managed to make it to the gate in time to get onto the plane.
I do have to say that it's very nice to be met by a English speaking person at each airport and have a private transfer to the hotel. I looked at the 'buses' we passed on our way in, Transit van sized things with about 30 people crammed in standing and sitting in the back and was very glad to have a minibus to myself!
This afternoon saw me tour the Sanata Catalina Monastery which was quite simply stunning in the bright summer daylight. The photos are on picasa here.
I was supposed to be going into several other churches and buildings but as it is Sunday here most things are shut. The hotel is lovely, nice tucked away couryards with rooms leading off them. I'm currently sat in the garden area shown in the photo below. I'll sign off here before I start to ramble. :)
