Heading Down South

So managed to ook a whole ton of stuff whilst I was with Rosie for our future travels! Also, was sooo lucky I ended up staying there in the end as probably would have been stuffed by myself. Martha (Lady whose house I was staying at) wa awesome. She phoned the Cruz del Sur bus people to check all the times/costs for me. Then when I was having issues finding somewhere to stay for tonight/tomorrow she just called somewhere chatted for like 3 mins in Spanish and was like right all sorted! The whole family were really nice, and this morning so we wouldn´t get lost again JD came with us to change money then we went for lunch at Bembos, which is a Peruvian fast food chain, but tasted really good and came with Inca Kola too! ;)
So got the taxi to the bus depo, and the taxi guy was Martha´s brother in-law, and he helped me buy all my tickets and check me luggage in, then it was onto Ica on 4 hour bus journey! wooo Bus was actually pretty comfy and really empty so everyone had two seats each meaning you could spread out a bit. Had interesting safety announcement, highlight must be the ´toilets are for urination only, i repeat again toilets are for urination only, should any opther toilet needs arise, please alert a member of staff immediately´! Anways, what followed was some really cheesy videos, a movie which kept skipping and the most insanely annoying music in the world, thank god for ipods! Anways, took bout 4 1/2 hours so arrived just after 7. Got out bus, and immediately accosted by taxi people, probs overpaid as just randomly went with one to Huacachina (lil óasis´surrounded by sanddunes, quite pretty apaz but is really a stagnant lake!) But got to hostel safely and was shown my room with ensuite bathroom. I use the word bathroom loosely judging by state of floor and lack of toilet paper! ;) anyways seems alright and I was convined to go on a dune buggy/sandboarding tour tomorrow afternoon with the hostel aswell so that should be pretty fun! :) Went to get a bite to eat, though wasn´t the best chicken sandwich in the world so am gonna go look for something to wash it down with in a bit! Also, currently being eaten alive, so will be interesting to see how I sleep with no A/C!
