Arequipa



After a long nights bus ride we have finally arrived in Arequipa, the second biggest city of Peru (I think...). Now we are relaxing a few day and getting used to the hight before starting trekking on Sunday. First we plan do do a 2 or 3 day hike to a canyon (second deepest in the world, deeper than the grand canyon). After that we might climb a volcano, but since there are several to choose from we haven´t decided wich one yet!
Tonight we will be celebrating my birthday, unfortunately we are sort of tired after the bus, but I have good hopes anyway!

Who would have thought that the two of you already have plans for sunday ! I thought you planned everything only a couple of hours before things happen...
;)

Hello,
So, have a good time in Colcoa Canyon. Are you going to walk on top, or in the bottom of the canyon ? This makes a 3000 m difference !... or climb from bottom to top and do some canyonsurfing for a change !...
And get prepared for your treck : 6000 m is really an impressive figure !....
Have a good time in Arrequipa to recover from the bus night before your treck(s)
Regards Jean-Yves

I know Pierre, he is never tired for a party... ;)
I think you will enjoy a good celebration.

How long will you relax before leaving ?

Pierre said...

It depends on a lot of things... I want my intestines to get before we go trek, I hope it wont take too long (dont worry, it's not all that bad...)

Je pense que c'est passe....

So, ignoring your intestines "after-party", how was the party ? :-)
Did Gustav have any present ?

Gustav said...

The party was great!! The only problem is I still can't hear anything but it was worth it, the band was really good!

Quel âge pour Gustav maintenant ? BOn anniversaire !
Et au fait, c'est quoi le plus profond canyon du monde si ce n'est pas les deux dont tu parles ?

Pierre said...
