We have arrived to Huaraz after a nine hours night bus. again a bus more comfotable than a plane and again we are sleeping door to door (we started thinking about spending all our nights in buses and saing money this way...). Despite the latitude and the bags we did not take a cub but walked to the hostal- we both got dizzy afterwards...
We have landed in a great hostal, our room was in the third flour and the view from the window and the small porch was the Cordillera blanca - the high white mountains surroundeing Huaraz and the Huascaran - the highest mountain in Peru.
After a few hours of recovery we started walking around the city.
As we have soon found out every city in Peru (and every small vilage..) have it's own "Plaza del Armas" Which is the center of the city's acticities. The areas in which we have been walking around in Huaraz were nice and fun to walk in. The houses are very colorfull and soon we found a pleasent coffe-house (swiss owned with kind of library inside!) and a mexican restaurant with great vegie meals. The restaurant is run by a Peruvian gauy
