Paracas

We had an early start (6.30am) and started heading to Paracas.

We stopped off at a typical tourist roadside place for breakfast and go watch a Peruvian horse and his rider strut their stuff.

 Next came a typical Peruvian game of 'scare the shit out of a guinea pig!' Nobody was told what was going to happen beforehand. 

The poor bugger was put in the cage and, when it was released, it ran into one of the mouse holes. If you'd chosen that number, you won a prize!! 

We had a chance to go on a zip line, so I had a go and Colin kindly did a video.

First and last event of the day was making our own Pisco sour in a local cocktail 🍸 bar. Much to my dismay, Colin liked his, despite having to put an egg white in it lol

We went scouring the local mini markets for somewhere that sold vodka (I poured mine down the sink before we got on the bus back from Trujillo as I was not convinced the plastic bottle it was in would make the journey).

The lady in the shop was lovely. The three of us had a brief conversation in Portuguese/Spanish and I got a bottle of 40% triple distilled vodka for 30 soles.... a good result for everyone 👏 lol

Paracas is a typical holiday village. There's not a lot here other than the sea, tat shops and restaurants. Its pleasant enough though. We walked along the front to watch the pelicans and cormorants fishing for lunch.

Off out for a meal, have a few drinks and look forward to tomorrow 😀
