After what turned out to be a 26hr trip we finally made it to Arequipa. On the bus we met a guy by the name of Lavanti from Hungary he asked if we could share a cab and Eve and I said sure, we were glad to have a guy with us on our midnight taxi ride what we did not know what that we had just agreed to a whole lot more than a cab ride.
It started with sharing a room at the hostel so that it would be cheaper, then another night together. After two nights in Arequipa Eve and I decided to take a trip to Chivay to see the condors and the Colca-Canyon, the second largest canyon in the world over twice as deep as the grand canyon. It then came as an unpleasant surprise when Lavanti asked what we were all going to do the next day. We told him what the two of us where planning on doing, he invited himself along. When we got to Chivay and Eve had spoken with the man at the tourist information desk it was obvious that the next morning if we really wanted to see the condors we would have to get up around 3A.M. so that we could take the 4A.M. bus on the two hour drive to the Mirador del Condors. It was at this point that Lavanti, whom we now called the cat, became truly a bother. He began to complain that that was too early in the morning and that he wanted to be able to sleep in before the hike etc. Eve then told him he could do whatever he wanted but we were getting up a 3 in order to see the condors.
I'll finish later
