Condors... and chases!

sunny

After dragging myself away from Cusco kicking and screaming i made it to the Colca Canyon. The deepest Canyon in the world with an amazing sight early in the morning of the condors flying over rocks only 2 metres from you head.. souring with the thermals to fly out of the canyon. An amazing sight they were beautiful and massive.

From there we drove to Arequipa where i am still today. Back to warm weather too which is a slight shock after quite a while of cold. I left the group for a few days and stayed here in this town. Right under the glooming height of Volcano Misti and 2 others.. its quite an impressive town. It has one of the largest convents ever which has the most brightly coloured walls i have ever seen.. still working out if thats for the gringos. Its 2 hectares in size.. hasnt got many nuns in there now though.

My tattoo friend Miguel came to visit me in Arequipa so i am staying her efor another few days before heading to Lima. I survived an attempted robbery last night.. strange experience but luckily i had a friend to back me up.

So onto looking at the preseves of an Inca child that was found in ice on top of the mountain a few years ago. Wanita! she still has skin i hear!
