Colca Canyon

PERU | Thursday, 1 February 2007 | Views [884] | Comments [3]

John said "I am not going, you go ahead and go if you want." That was about the trip to Colca Canyon to see the condors fly. What was I thinking, a pickup at 2 am, and not back until almost 5 pm. The bus ride was terrible, the road was so bumpy in most places I think I will vibrate for a week. It wouldn´t be bad but we had so many stops along the way. The whole trip could have been done in 8 hours easy. I also spent a significant time in the bathroom due to the buffet lunch we had on the way back, but some gatorade and sleep, I am pretty good now. It was great to see the condors fly, there are not there until 8 am and are suddenly gone at 9 am. They have a wing span of up to 12 ft. On to Tacna, Peru this afternoon, our last stop in Peru.

Glad to see you're still having a good time. Hope the tummy thing didn't happen until you were back at your hotel.

Dad is doing okay. Carole

Hi!

Leianne, I would have gone too. I love birds of prey so any discomfort is worth it to see them in the wild!
Cannot wait to see your pictures.
