    Homestay and kayaking

    September 7, 2023 in Peru ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    Time to get to work!
    Woke up fairly early, around 6/6:30 to help mama in the kitchen before breakfast... breakfast was so tasty, fried bread with jam and egg... think I put on weight just from that!
    Next task was to take the sheep and the llama down to the field... we were given some cool hats to wear as the sun was very strong! I looked after the llama, he was called Carlos 🤣 he was a greedy Carlos!
    Once the animals were secure we had to sort through dehydrated potatoes to get rid of all the soil, leaves and straw... dehydrated potatoes are a key part of the diet in peru as they are abundant and Peruvians do not waste any food!
    Our jobs were pretty easy and chill in comparison to some of the gang who had to hand plough fields 😬
    I opted to go kayaking in the lake with Isaac, Delin, Essy, Harvey and Zack... was a lot of fun, Isaac and I shared a kayak, he is quite risk averse, so was constant 'Anna, you're going to capsize us!' And when Harvey and Zack suggested a race his reaction was 'Don't encourage her!!!' 😂
