Today we had an early start as we all jumped on the truck for our 9 hour drive to Puno.
The drive was a little rough and we passed through some interesting little places. Carly and I sat up the back of the bus and along the way Nick our driver hit a massive pothole, sending us so high in our seats that we nearly hit pur heads on the roof! Everyone got such a shock they screamed and I did jar my back a little bit so Carly and I have decided tomorrow we won't sit up the very back!
We did stop at some hot springs along the way for a quick dip.
The springs were like big pools that smelt like bad eggs and upon walking in we spotted a very old Peruvian woman, naked and washing herself.
About half of the group just went for it whilst the other half (including us girls) discussed how unhygenic it would be and what weird diseases we might walk away with! After a bit I decided we were there, we must do it!!
The pools were hot and if you didn't think of the scum you were standing on they werent that bad.
Definitely a one time thing!...never again!
Arriving in Puno we were starving so went out for a pizza and a cocktail and then jumped into bed early ready for another day of driving in the morning.
