End of an era

Things had just started to settle down for us in Arequipa...and we decided it was time to leave. Due to the running out of money (as always seems to happen) we have decided to take our original march flight home instead of postponing it as we had thought we would. But the thought of coming home (wherever that might be...!) is pretty exciting.

Yesterday we left our Arequipa life- job, apartment and frinds (sob!) and travelled to the Northern coast of Peru for some Trujillo sun and some hiking in the Cordiera Blanca before we come back to Europe. Travelling feels a bit funny at the moment (...and a bit tiring to be honest), but that might be due to a bad nights sleep on a bus last night- I´m sure when we hit the beach tomorrow it will all feel jolly nice indeed.

The bad news is that our wonderful trusty camera was pickpocketed at a big festival we went to a few weeks ago, so I cant share any photos. Not being able to take any has been pretty torturous as well, as since then we have had a brilliant week in Bolivia (which was beautiful- especially the jungle), and Trujillo where we are now is also pretty darned photogenic- all colonial architecture painted in bright colours. Maybe when we get back and get some films developed from Steve´s Olympus Trip (which has saved the day) I can scan them and upload a few.

Anyway, that´s all for now- feeling a bit bus-lagged, but felt the end of our Arequipa life should have a quick mention. It´s been brilliant.

Lots of love xxxx

Ps. In the last post Steve suggested I have a problem with swearing verging on Tourettes. It´s so BEEPing well not true. Just thought I should clarify that.
