Late last night, we spoke with Julio about our plans to drive to Nascar. He said that the Pan Americano skirted the cliffs for quite a while and that the lorry drivers were "loco". With this in mind we decided to review our plan and visit Lago Titicaca instead. The roads are quieter and we are now acclimatised to high altitude.
So after breakfast (10.30 am) we said goodbye to Julio and Durby, and headed south to Arequipa. The main road rose on to the most Northern part of the Atacama desert and we made good progress. However as we neared Arquipa we seemed to get stuck behind very slow lorries and we lost time.
We realised we would not make Puno in the light so we decided to have a night at Arequipa at the same hotel. It was a nightmare to find, but suddenly K said "The next road is the Avenida S. Martin. " Miraculous! Our hotel.
There are no photos for today. We ate at the same good restaurant and thne came back to the hotel to catch up on the blog...................

The driving over there sounds very dodgy. The lorry drivers sound completely mad.
