Epic drive to Huaraz

After our visit to the Temple of the Moon, we grabbed a bowl of salad that Nikki had made us for lunch, jumped on the truck, and headed off to Huaraz.  We had all checked Google Maps and knew that the journey would take 7 hours in a car with no stops, so we were expecting a very late arrival.  And so it proved!!  

It was already dark when we began our climb into the mountains, so we saw nothing of the Andes on this drive.  Several people in the group were poorly, so we had to have more stops than usual.  Our last stop was at 8.30pm in a small town called Pariacoto.  Luckily, we found a clean toilet and a well-stocked minimart for those who needed them.  We then pushed on to Huaraz, arriving there at gone midnight!!  

By the time the rooms were sorted and we were settled in, it was 1am!  We had to be up for breakfast at 6.45 as we were going on a trip!Read more
