We rolled in from the overnight bus at about 6.30 am and were all feeling the need to settle for a bit. We're now in Arequipa until we start our epic journey home. We started off by asking the friendly hostel lady to wash our stinky gear, then had some breakfast, sunbathed for a while on the roof terrace and ate half a box of chocolates.
We headed to the town market to start on our various purchasing missions. A lot of the shops and stalls were closed because it's palm sunday, but we did manage to get some veg and fish (complete with heads) to cook for our dinner this evening. We also went to book a table in Arequipa's finest restaurant for our last night and were enticed in by the cocktail menu. Ben (Emma's boyfriend, a teacher with the same organisation and also an ultimate fighter) came with us and lead us into bad ways. An hour or 2 and most of the cocktail menu later we were the last punters to leave. In spite of the alcohol we cooked a tasty trout and veggies meal in the guesthouse's kitchen for our dinner.
