So we did the sand buggies and it was so much fun. We had Jose who was our driver and he really did scare the sh** out of Ellen. I sat up front and I loved it but Ellen was directly behind me and my ear drums got a good battering to say the least. There was also an American couple with us. The sandunes were absolutely AMAZING. It was just mountains of sand for as far as the eye could see. Although when we got to the first spot to take pictures you could see all ...

We arrived in Lima about 7.30am and promptly headed to the next bus terminal to catch the bus to Ica. This time we travelled with Peru Bus and it cost 28 soles for the 4.5 hour trip. We grabbed a crossiant and some fresh pineapple for breakfast with ham and cheese and boarded our bus.

It looked like it was in the middle of no where which is always interesting but we had chosen Miraflores for the location as it was recommended by Holly to me ...

On the first day of our road trip we awoke for 7.30 and got ready to go and collect our car. We were hiring a Juicy car which are all over OZ and NZ. Our first stop was at Warkworth and we got our food shopping for the next few days. Nat makes me laugh to shop with, she encourages all the bad food where as most people tell me not to get things.
