Huaraz

After a short pit-stop in Lima, I've headed north to Huaraz. Back at altitude (3712m), in a lodge, in the middle of the mountains, with nothing to do but read, walk, party, and get bitten by sand flies... really itchy! I stayed in the "Cave Dorm": 11 beds jammed into the sides of a round tower built around the rock face... cosy!


After two days of doing nothing, I decide it's time for another day trip. This time to Laguna Llanganuco, a glacial water lake at, yes, you guessed it, 3850m... pose for the camera!!
It was a very tough day, trying to hold a conversation with the girl from Lima next to me on the bus (although I'm sure she could speak English but wouldn't), topped off with a Spanish speaking guide... very tiring! I wish I could speak more Spanish... (perhaps deciding that six months ago would have been a good idea!!)
