Best drive so far

Monday May 26th

I should have been home by now. But instead we were driving from Huaraz to Hunachaco, back on the coast.

This is a very long days driving (again) but it is probably the most spectacular in terms of scenery that we have had so far. We were driving down an amazing gorge and we had to go through 47 tunnels (someone else counted not me). It took 4 hours to go down and it was quite bumpy, and even abit scary when passing oncoming trucks. The road was generally only wide enough for one of us, and the sides of the gorge were steep. In fact it took so long to get down that I think by the end we were getting a bit sick of it, despite the scenery never letting up. When we hit the PanAmerican highway and sea level I think we all cheered a little.

In the evening we went to met one of the people who left in Lima and who had travelled up here independently. We went to a really good BBQ place where the food was cooked right in front of us.
