Anna's parents visited in March and we got the opportunity to go away for a few days to Lunahunaná, a small town 2 hours south of Lima in the foothills - some guaranteed sunshine and gorgeous scenery. This is the view from our balcony...
The other reason Lunahunaná appealed to us is because it is also a place where the more adventureous can do white river rafting, quad biking and such like. The river was a bit high for the river rafting, but Mark, Julian and Daniel enjoyed their trip on the quad bikes (well, Daniel said the coming home was a bit dusty!) We also did a city tour of the town, and looked at some of the ancient pisco (think brandy) houses.
Daniel also got the opportunity to ride in the back of the tour-guide's pick-up truck and have a go at driving it too. (As we drove past the police station, the policeman waved and smiled at the underage driver!)
All in all, it was a relaxing time and great to breathe in some fresh air and spent some quality time with Anna's parents. There is something life-giving about waking up to this every morning, (even if it is at 6am!!)
