Colca Canyon

I got up early and made my way towards Colca Canyon; a B-eautiful drive! Pictures will come as soon as I get proper internet connection. There were dirt roads, as I knew. Bumpy, gravely, full of waterholes and a few rivers. You just had to lift your feet up high and give gas, where you couldn`t get past on the sides. There were tourist buses that helped me out in the tunnels, where they could actually light it up. On the way back, I was not that lucky. Just tried my best not to hit a wall.
There were a terrible deal of clouds at Cruz del Condor, so I kept riding down some beautiful roads, to a little village. I visited nearly all of the villages on the way back from Cruz del Condor, which stayed cloudy for a long time. Almost all of the tourists gave up and went back. I knew it would clear up eventually, and got my reward: a magnificent view and spotting my first condor; a old and huge bird that is admired all over South America.
One thing that surprised me about visiting Colca Canyon, was that I was a tourist attraction worth taking their photo with...
And yeah.. Note to self: next time you go offroading, don`t forget a sportsbrah.

Later in the day, I read chemistry in the park, bought my everyday lucuma jet - ice cream from a seven year old ice cream salesgirl... went to the hot springs for a long bath; there I naturally encountered some other gringos, and when I came back, someone had Finally moved into my hotel. I`m meeting the nice argentinians for some cooking and a beer later tonight. One of them is dead keen on riding on the back to Puno, tomorrow morning. If we could ship our stuff with the other argentinian, that Could just work.

As for Tornado, I refilled a little bit of air and oil. The main problem was really the gasoline filter that was dirty and full of water. That`s emptied, but I need to change the filter and the tube in Bolivia. I was just glad that there was something wrong that I could fix! not just altitude.
