On the Wednesday of Anna's visit to Arequipa, the two of us went on the bus tour (well one of them as there are four bus companies doing the tour) around the city of Arequipa. Sometimes these tours can be a waste of money but this one was good as it took us around the city to places I would never have got to otherwise and we got to get out and experience things etc.
So what did we see? Well we saw churches, alpacas, llamas, more scenery, more views of El Misti, Chachani and Picchu Picchu the three volcanoes in Arequipa (I have so many photos of them now, you would think I was obsessed). We also saw and got to look around La Mansion de Fundador (Mansion of the Founder) which is a grand 17th Century mansion and was once the official residence of the founder of Arequipa, Garci Manuel de Carbajal
We also drove past some of the Pueblo Jovens here in Arequipa (the shanty towns):
And on one stop we had a choice of two activities we could do, either horse riding or visiting a water mill... as I don't really like being on horses (would rather look at them), I decided to go and visit the water mill but Anna went for a ride on the horse - she enjoyed most of the trip except when the horse tried to run away with her!
