Wir hatten eine etwas turbulente Busfahrt hinter uns als wir in Arequipa ankamen. Jemand hat einen Stein in die Scheibe der Sitzreihe hinter uns geworfen und alle Scherben flogen ueber unsere beiden Haeupter. Zum Glueck wurde niemand verletzt, aber es war schweinekalt waehrend der Nacht.
We had a rather turbulent busride from Cusco to Areuipa were someone threw a stone into the window in the row behind us. All the glass pieces scattered upon our heads. Luckily, no-one got injured but we were feezing our a** off during the night.
Arequipa is a nice little town of which the colonial style of buildings is still preserved in the centre round Plaza de Armas. There a lots of little cafe's, bars and restaurants. We even found Turkish food here.Just about 40 years after the spaniards took over the city, they've built a monastry which was just opened in the 1970ies to public. It is basically a city in the city with it's own gardens, crop field, housing and medical centre. The nuns were living and praying in this institution and hardly anyone left the monastry before death. In the new part, there are still nuns living. The lively colors, many flowers and plants as well as the subtile whizzling of the birds made our visit there a highlight in Arequipa.
