Waking up at 3 am to start this trip was unimaginably horrible, and to only drive for 4 hours to the town where we would be staring the trip.
There was really no need to leave so early in the morning as the day was short with only 4 hours of hiking.
Our crew for the trip were great, fantastic banter with alcohol and card games, there were 9 of us all together from all over and we all had the same attitude. This included guys I met in Bolivia with the absolutely stunning Franca and 2 dutch guys who were a fun laugh. As always I showed off some magic tricks confusing the masses but all good times. I can't tell yu how many games of Shithead we played but a hell of a lot.
The towns we stayed in offered beer and rum but at an extortionate price and bringing alcohol from Arequipa was something we should have done.
The hiking for the three days was good but really not long enough only hiking for a maximum of 4 hours each day.
Although the last day that was suppose to take 3 hours to get up and out of the valley was tough but didn't stop me pushing hard to make it to the top in 1 hour 15, doing his however kind of ruined my right knee, something that has irritated me for many of the hikes I have done in south America, especially when I hike downhill.
I had a great 3 days and on return to Arequipa I had a bus booked to Ica for some sandboarding action, it would have been awesome to have a night out partying with the group but unfortunately I had to go.
Now the exciting part, Franca who I got to know over the past few days who also is mindblowingly hot changed her plans to join me to Ica, it really was increadibly spontaneous, but I'm certainly not going to complain. I get to spend the next 2 days with her sandboarding outside Ica.
It was only after I told franca that she was incredible and stunning she decided to join me. Now a girl like this Who incidentally likes similar metal music to me, is in a band back in Switzerland and is as fit as hell changed her plans at the last moment to come with me.... If things go well, meaning I dont fuck up, would make the icing of the cake of this trip.
Seriously, this girl is everything!
