Well If I wanted something exciting to happen then the civilian strike in Peru is what life has thrown at me.
Just like what my guide was telling me about, being pissed at the government for trying to sell off everything, some of the locals in Arequipa have begun to stone buses, trains and the airport, so the buses have all gone on strike and this has been going for the last week.
Now I am just sitting in the hostel, chatting with the other travellers who have all got plans to leave here today or tomorrow and trying to organise some private bus to take us, or face being either stuck in Cusco or to fly direct to Lima, but either way the chances of me staying in Arequipa are becoming slimmer and slimmer, which is a real shame as I have heard many good things about that city.
I am meant to be checking out in an hour and I have no idea what I am going to do or where I am going to do, but the weather here in Cusco is raining and I am really saddened that this protest against the goverment, which I agree with, is also going to stop me from travelling and thus spoil an otherwise great time in Peru.
