We drove most of the morning and some of the afternoon, arriving to a lovely hotel ( no more camping till the Inca trail).
Arequipa, the white city (named after the white volcanic rock used to build most of the city, sillar), is the second largest city in Peru. It is said to mean- lets stay here, so named by the Spaniards. Cleaner and prettier than Lima, as well as safer. El misti, the volcano, dominates the background.
We went for traditional Arequipan fare and then danced quite a lot of the night away. Had fun trying out Salsa, every local seems to do it effortlessly. The first pub we went to, I sat on a chair and smashed it to pieces, each bit was apart, time to diet maybe.
