The bus finally arrived and we left 3 hours late! Managed to get a pretty good nights sleep (although my ears kept popping as we climed up to 2325 metres). We arrived in Arequipa at 9:30am. The place is surrounded my the Andes and many a volcano (El Misti, Chachani & Pichu Pichu are the main ones).
We had a free day, mainly to acclimatise to the altitude so we got our washing done (took it to a nice laudarette who returned it very nicely clean and folded! We then walked around this beautiful city and saw El Misti from a great viewpoint (a 'mirador').
We're off to the Colca Canyon tomorrow for a 2 day trip which should be great!
