After a 10hrs overnight bus I took 4 days ago, I'm in Peru. I heard a lot of terrible things about overnight buses as border-crossings, but nothing bad happened on this one thankfully. I sat next to a German guy on a bus to Chichlayo, Peru and he told me that he took the same night bus I was on three days ago and it got robbed by 7 guys at gunpoint. They barricaded the road 10 minutes after they got to Peru and took everyone off the bus and checked them for cash, passports, Ipods, etc... No one was hurt he informed me, but still kind of scary.
I'm in Huaraz right now and plan on doing lots of hiking here. I'm going to do a 10hr hike tomorrow and then a 5 day hike in the next couple of days. They recommend to hang around in town for a few days in order to acclimate. I bought some coco leaves to munch on that is supposed to help out with attitudinal sickness:) Oh! another exciting thing is that I think I'm going to be volunteering at a bar here. Maybe I'll get to make some good 'ol pisco sours and practice my artful wristflip opening Peruvian beers;)
Today I'm going to buy a camera. I should of bought one, oh let's say, 3 months ago, but I'm stubborn and frugal, which makes me terrible at compulsive shopping. I did however buy some San Pedro from a witch doctor. At least I hope that is what I bought....
