Pastoruri Glacier

---

Pastoruri Glacier today with the Israeli troop. Volcanic landscape reminds me of Tongariro in NZ. REally barren and different to the lushhhhh Santa Cruz valley, but impressive all the same.

Having been an unwilling witness to some serious and animated words in Hebrew between Idan and Sol I promptly decided to go it alone and took off by myself scrambling up and down the scree.

All the Pêruvian tourists were quite taken just with being on snow, but after four months in fernie that didn´t interest me. Ice caves did.

Oh yeah, and Puya Raymondi plants that are the biggest flowers in the world, take 100 years to flower, and are tall (and somewhat phallic).

PS. if you buy a bus ticket in Peru it doesn´t necessarily mean you get a seat.
