Huacachina, Peru (Jun 13-18)
Huacachina is a really cool little town. The town surrounds an oasis in the desert and is surrounded by huge 300 meter sand dunes. We took an insane, death dune buggy trip into the desert and then went sandboarding, and stopped on top of a dune to watch the sunset. We got sand everywhere that you can imagine. Later that night we hung out with 8 French medical students and 3 Canadians (2 of which were medical students), lots of good French practice! We had most of our clothes in the laundry that night and so we were pretty cold.
We climbed up a sand dune… and it wasn´t as easy as we thought. We made a bet on how long it was going to take and we both lost. We couldn´t make more than 40 steps before we were completely out of breath and had to stop for a rest. It was beautiful when we finally made it to the top! We also ran down the dune and that was crazy too!
We stayed here a little longer than we expected because Edmundo felt poopy. So he decided to get some blood tests to make sure he didn´t have malaria. The results negative… sweetness!
We also found this hotel that had a turtle as a pet. Turtles walk so funny… we made a video, too bad we can´t post it! Next door to our hostel is a farmer who likes having many animals as pets and one of his huge geese crash landed inside our hostel in a plant. Weird and super funny!
