I had no idea how far away it was from Areuipa... I thought 4 hours..the tour agency told me 8 hours... I found out it was 12 hours.....by bus...
Anyway, I 'm glad to be here and looking forward to the home ran
In the morning as we still headed on, for the first time, I actually saw maize fields...there is always talk of maize, but in all my traversing the peruvian countryside, I'vr never seen any...
there were vast fields of grapes too....
I thought Paracas was a town...it's actually a bus stop....well more of a port
but has a great hotel with wi-fi...where I am for the night and the gateway to the the national marine reserve....
It's a beautiful desert...
that meets the `Pacific Ocean
Driving around the reserve...the roads have been graded with SALT, there is a museum and some breath taking views, pelicans, many other birds and powerful winds..your hat has to be jammed on the head
Earth quakes and tsunamis in the area may changed rock formations but did not destroy the beauty
I was glad to head back to the hotel and rest from the marathon bus trip...after a shared lunch
with my best friend for the day
....well he got to the lunch table, yes, just after I had eaten all the fish....!!!!
