Walking at the Weekend

Well the weekend came quickly and Friday night we went out for some beers and bonding. On Saturday morning we went for a walk or an 'itchi-trek' with our housemates through the beautiful countryside nearby. The view of the mountains from the surrounding hills of Huaraz is spectacular. On one side of the valley is the Cordillera Blanca (snowcapped mountains of the Andes) and on the other is the Cordillera Negro (black mountains of the Andes), which make up the lovely views all around. We ended the walk at the Aguas Terminales in Monterrey, where we had a bath in the very dirty, but very naturally very hot water. Stu and I weren´t keen to have a bath, but were glad as it was the most hot water we've seen in a long time, and the 20 minute soak in the tub was well worth it. Unfortunately, we ran out of juice in the camera and so we don´t have many pics. Those we do are here though.
