    Reunited!!

    August 15, 2023 in Peru ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Left Lobitos to a lonely Lima hostel room (but slept like a baby so 🤷‍♀️) but woke up to a friendly face arriving in Lima! Went for a yummmm brek and then a morning surf. Got absolutely humbled by the big waves but managed to catch a couple and they were pretty cool - we both got stupidly burnt bc ended up staying in way longer than we thought shredding 🤙🤙🤙🏄‍♀️ went for lunch w some nice gals then hopped on a bus to meet Liv in Huachachina!! Finally reunited and it feels so good!!! Lots of story exchanges then beer pong- went to a dead club where the highlight was the dog! Next day did sandboarding and it was suuuuuuper fun - Alf was the fastest (shock) me and Liv were a lil scared but only skipped the biggest one (we’re not crazy) then off to Paracas! We stupidly didn’t check the buses and had missed the last one so ended up taxi-ing it (boujee bitchez) no time to nap because it was pub quiz time!! We ended up winning by a kinda embarrassing amount but it was lots of fun!! Next day got up early to go in a boat tour (stressed Liv out by being late- guess who got distracted by a cat) and saw dolphins and lots of sea lions!!! Then had a veryyyyy chilled day w a long nap, missed the sunset but went for some yummy ceviche. Then salsa class which was really fun!!! Me and liv got knocked out of the first round of the beer pong tournament but it was by the winners so we’ll allow it!! Woke up this morn and had to check in to go home tomorrow which was a sad moment :(( currently on the bus back to Lima for a final big night!!! Can’t believe it’s almost over ;(Read more

    And just like that it’s over!!! Had a fun last night in Lima, went for tacos and accidentally ended up at a Peruvian stand up comedy night. Unfortunately we had to leave mid way through so got laughed at as we left but hey ho was a fun experience!! Then a great night to finish and 1 hr sleep for me and liv. We were both still drunk when we woke up and 7 hours later we finally sobered up wondering how on earth we made it on the plane (and how they allowed it) but made it pretty smoothly!! Still have the glitter eyes that I put on more than 30 hours ago oops. Back in ldn town now and feeling v worse for wear - this weekend is needed for recovery!!

    I want to thank all my fans for supporting me through these travels, stay tuned for my next trip soon 😎 South American Bex out (until I get sad and look at pics and post again)
