March 18th Arequipa, Peru




Arrived in Arequipa last night a little later than planned. Hit 3 checkpoints on the bus route and on every single one, something was confiscated by the police. Fortunately none of it was mine.

The last time it happened one of the ladies who was about to lose a bag full of clothes actually got into a physical confrontation with the police. Not smart. Anyway, no pics, decided not to get involved.

So I arrived at my hostel which is very nice and close to the center of town. Got a private room for about $6 US and the hotel has a nice rooftop patio with great views of El Misti. The volcano outside of town.
