transfer to Tacna - monday

The bus ride from Lima involved some curious passages, especially in the night. I forgot to mention that I had again first floor seat in the first row, so view better then the busdrivers.

Around midnight we were going through a sequence of sharp curves in the mountains, that readilly illustrated why Peru's roads are deemed dangerous. Two lanes, rock on one side, abyss on the other - much like the old school Acolade Test Drive game. No space for mistakes. Leave the curb and gameover succeeds.

And then, in that good old game you drove like a swift sports car... now imagen this 20+ tons mastodont, 5 meters high... And there were slow trucks. And sometimes rocks fallen on the roads surface - up to the size of a decent fridge - no kidding.

Then in the morning (and I was thus glad that I took a reputable company this time) another lengthy passage through dessert. Peruvian shore is all dessert, so it seems.
