Hola again! Ok I think I last wrote here when I was in Riobabamba. The next day we were meant to be riding the Devil's Nose railway but woke up and it was pouring with rain. I was pretty confident it'd clear up (and dindn't want to miss out!) so got up at 5.30am to go, however Chris is scared of the rain so chickened out!

Right so last time I wrote I was about to get on the night bus to Huaraz. That was pretty uneventful though I didn?t get a lot of sleep. We checked into our hostel at 6am and had a few hours sleep before exploring the town. There?s not much in Huaraz, its basically a base for all types of activities...

Right I think its about time I caught up on my news since I last posted 11 days ago! We left Cusco and drove for a very long time to Arequipa (we definitely have the slowest overland truck in the Americas!)
