Days 56, 57, 58: Trying to Travel to Arequipa and Some Needed Relaxation

Day 56: Flight cancelled

Dear Obiwan,

Today we left our beach town Mancora and were off to Arequipa, Peru! Arequipa is a small mountain town in Peru. It neighbors the 2nd largest canyon in the world, Colca Canyon, which me and Margaux plan to hike the next day!

We arrived to the airport to yet, another ISSUE WITH TRAVEL. Today’s issue was that…ready Obi? OUR FLIGHT WAS CANCELED. And we were not informed due to us booking it online through another sight.

Obi, calm down, don’t freak out! All was well. We just went to the bus terminal and booked the NICEST BUS YET- Cruz Del Sol, which has seats that recline into a BED and they FEED YOU DINNER AND BREAKFAST. AND they give you a blanket and a pillow! So, we took a 15 hour night bus that had NO STOPS and I slept for a few hours, which is good for me! (Since sleeping on buses is so hard for me, as you know!)

Day 57: Tuesday, November 27th

Arequipa, Peru

Stayed at Cozy Hostel

Today was a rest day. We arrived by bus in the afternoon and found out hostel, Cozy Hostel. I then went to Serpost and FINALLY MAILED back my extra stuff to America. In case anyone is wondering, FedEx and DHL do not accept USED things. So I couldn’t use them, I had to use the national post, and it seemed very secure! I did have to buy my packages and tape from an old lady outside on the street but, she seemed official some how too!

Then we went to bed, exhausted!
