After a few days in Nazca it's now time to head for Antigua, Peru's second largest city. This has been a great place to relax and recuperate and I am now feeling much better, a little congested but no where near as bad as I was. Yesterday we went for a walk into Nazca and realised what an awful town it is, it's dirty and congested and doesn't have a nice vibe, thank god we have been staying in our little oasis on the outskirts of town.
The bus for Antigua leaves at 10:00 tonight and gets in at 7am so hopefully we will have a good sleep. It's the same bus we came on so it's got the fully reclining seats etc... Sam is very excited about sleeping on the bus. We will spend two nights there and then on to Arica in Chile, here the boys can surf and then we are going to fly down to Santiago so that we can catch our flight to NZ.
We are all ready for NZ now, Sam is looking forward to meeting more kids, Will is looking forward to fresh fruit and veg and home cooking and I am looking forward to talking in English again.
That's all folks. Update tomorrow, here is a picture of our hotel.
Great to hear that you are feeling much better. Try and cut out the decongestant as soon as you can or at least reduce the dose again to say 60mg twice daily. Sounds as if Will and Sam are the best medicine you have.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Sam is excited about the bus trip to Antigua. A 9 hour kip on a bus with recliners sounds perfect to me. I'm off to do exciting things like taking my repeat precription to the pharmacy and heaving a bagful of unwanted stuff to the charity shop.
Love you loads

Hey Ruth,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that i've now put 3 comments on in one day but i read the last 3 together.
Mary's Tom is in NZ - do you want me to get his details for you incase you are in the same place? It might be nice to meet someone who knows some of the same people you know.
Let me know.
