Foreign and Culture shocking

Ive landed in a foreign continent not knowing a soul, knowing very little of the language and am very jetlagged. So inevitably culture shock was bound to kick in plumpeting my ability to cope to thoughts about jumping on the next plane back to London. So what any girl in this situation does - slap myself and say get a grip. I took off early this morning and purchased a simcard which was an event of me saying no entiendo {I dont understand} on more than one occassion and it turning into plenty of sign language and definite confused looks by both parties. I also purchased a pocket book called "El Principito" which I will soon learn to read, thinking it is the story of the little prince, but was more sold on the book given it had quiet a lot of pictures.

Lost In Space

That goes to vaguely describe how I feel at the moment after my arrival in Chile.

Dinner at Phamish, and a famous Lager dinner. Thanks to the girls Jo and Lou for the Tropfest night, and those that made the effort to catch up. Well must go for a n...

Arequipa II

After much deliberation of our choice of route we decided to head from Lima to Arequipa. We caught a bus for 14 hours to Arequipa. The first photo uploaded on the first Arequipa section is a picture of what we drove through, which is pretty barron, and is an extension of the Atacama desert. We met a couple of friends that Fanny had travelled with previously and we decided to head on a two day trip with them to Colca Canyon, one of the world deepest caynons.
