Today was an extreeeemly early start at 5.45am meeting in the lobby in lima. Then off we headed to start a full on day of adventures! After driving for 4 ish hours we arrived at paracas. Bit rough around the edges but right on the coast and some really cute lil shops and cafes. We speedboated across to the Ballastas islands, which was full and I mean FULL of birds!!! It was insane! And some sea lions and a few penguins even. Very cool Rach decided on trying something new in Paracas on the drink front so tried the drink called “special”. And special it was! Bleugh!!

Our first full day in Lima has been fantastic! After breakfast, Rach's friend Jorge picked us up and took us on a tour of the city.

Arrived in LA after enduring a long and movieless flight (the sound and picture didn’t work for the whole 12.5 hours!) at 6.20am to start Fri all over again! LA airport officially sucked! Empty, no wifi, no couches, very little food (NO LOLLIES!) and completely deserted! But to be fair El’s muffin was the size of her head and lasted her 5 hours! So we slept a few hours sprawled on the hard floor with El waking up to 2 men staring at us! After Rach’s realisation that Airo Lineas wasn’t an actual airline and her eyes had failed her again while attempting to read the word ‘airlines’ in a foreign way, after already informing ... read more
