Huaraz and the Cordillera Blanca

We have arrived in Huaraz at 5.30 this morning... YAWN! Am feeling very tired after one night on the bus and the night before we were in a dorm with some madman who kept falling out of his top bunk and crash on the floor screaming! Thinking back to it now it was hilarious but at the time.... Very bizarre! Especially as he kept climbing back up instead of sleeping on the floor?!?!?! I would have done!

Anyway, we made it and Huaraz seems like a lovely town once it has woken up and the sun is out and we are surrounded by the beautiful snow covered peaks of the Cordillera Real. Wunderschoen!

We are going on the Santa Cruz Trek tomorrow morning for 4 days of trekking up valleys and mountains to get a better view of the over 60 massive peaks around us. This is the mountain range where "Touching the Void", the Joe Simpson drama happened. Am very excited after I read the book about 5 times! But still refused to try and summit the Siala Grande...

Right then, we are off into the wilderness and yet another experiment on how greasy my hair can get! I will report back :-)))

Muchos besos!
