Too much Pisco





So within less than 24 hours of climbing the glacier, I was back in the desert, in a small oasis called Huacachina. It is a small resort that surrounds a lagoon in the middle of the vast huge sand dunes. It was unbelievable! It was so nice and hot, and I even relaxed a bit! I went on the sand buggy tour, where they drive like maniacs through the sand dunes, and literally you are going so fast and vertical down the dunes that your stomache flips! We stopped about 5 times to sand board....It is not as easy as you might think! But a tonne of fun anyway!
I also drank way too much pisco...the peruvians drink this like water....it is a type of alcohol that is made from grapes but it actually tastes a bit like tequilla...The favorite drink down here is the ´pisco sour´. I also managed to find a chocolate factory named after me!!! So of course I HAD to buy some chocolate from the ´helena´chocolate factory, and I also got some chocolate pisco...we´ll see how that tastes!
I headed to lima from Huacachina and am waiting a flight to cusco...
