We're just having papas frittas at Maccas in Chile. A long bus trip ... followed by a taxi ride ... border crossing which we could only manage with the assistance of Spanish speakers ... with some knowledge of how things work here. What an eventful day ... again.
Throughout the day I think of so many things to write about but just now they all evade me. I started off in the front seat of the bus ... on the top . Spectacular views - but all got too much for me with incredibly winding roads, passing other buses and trucks ... on double lines. I just had to swap places with Jill for a third row seat. It's such barren desolate country.
Whenn we reached the coast ... over the border in Chile, it really isn't much different.... still desolate, barren, but desert. So much sand. Will have to wait for the pictures.
The taxi ride across the border was well worth the 60 soles - our driver was in and out of the car on the Peruvian side as well as the Chilean side ... paperwork and customs checks. Another experience to add to our kitbag. Interesting that when you cross the Chilean border by car, you don't pay the $56US that you pay with entry into the Santiago airport.
Love to all....
FYI - Milka was most upset when we left Cusco that Lac and Katrina weren't coming with us, and today we left Mitch behind in Arequipa .... the group is getting smaller ... so more sadness.

Wow... I miss reading the blog for a couple of days and there's so much to catch up on. Sounds like you are enjoying the honeymoon... What about Zac and Milka ;)
We spent our first night in the house last night... Woohoo! The garage and minor bedrooms are full of boxes and STUFF but the living areas and our bedroom are livable and won't take long to sort out. Plenty of unpacking, sorting and washing to be done as well as a few more loads of 'dregs' from the other place and the cleaning and we're done. The dog is here with us as well but she's confined to quarters until the fence goes up on Tuesday - she's not too impressed but we'll manage.
Love you and keep the posts coming :)
