Our first R & R.

On Thursday 14th February we took our first break and headed for Leo’s house at Punta Negra. After traveling in two collectivos and a mini taxi we arrived at Punta Negra. I must add that this journey was not as simple as it sounds because it incorporated constant swerving, dodging, weaving, non stop horn blowing, rapid acceleration and sudden deceleration all of which resulted in the incoherent mumbling of prayers of thanksgiving on alighting – as well as a few moments of stretching to get the limbs working. I am positive that very little in the whole of Peru is built to cater for people six foot and over!
