Today is our last day in South America! I am a bit hungover! We joined Oli and Sas for a McDonald's lunch and u had an afternoon nap before sharing a can with them to the airport in the evening. I want to try to summarise my experience of South America: PERU Peru was my favourite country of the 3. Our tour was very intense and left little time for us to relax, but the uniqueness of our excursions; the inca trail, dune bashing, hot springs and south more made ...

Had a lazy day. Garth and I walked to a local park where you could climb a hill for a city view. It was a very good view, but we couldn't see the mountains surrounding the city due to the smog :( We had a hot dog on the way back and bid Grant, Paul and Alison farewell. In the evening we had planned to meet up with Oli and Sas for some last night in South America drinks so bought some beers from the local supermarket and enjoyed them whilst being nosey and spyi...

In the morning we said goodbye to a lot of people. Michelle and Amelia left their bags in our room until 4pm.

We somehow managed to get the front seat which I loved as I could put my feet up! I miraculously managed to sleep for the first half of the trip. It was really cold to start with and I needed 2 blankets but when I woke up at our first toilet stop I was boiling!!! They didn't use the air con for the rest of the trip so was boiling! We arrived...

Woke to a manky bread role breakfast (but it was free so I ate it). At 10.30, Amelia, Sas, Sam, Sarah and vince embarked on a 1 hour walk to the beach which was rather further than expected. There was a huge comedy light house at the start of the beach and we walked 10 mins south to a spot where people were actually in the water and sunbathed there for 1 hour. At one point a stray dog came and walked on my towel and it wouldn't shoo away so I hit it with my boo...
