A rest day. Time to sort out the car and bags.
Several people have had things stolen, including one couple who lost everything including their passports. We must try to contact the Hammonds. We decided not to go out at 3am to the Colca Canyon to look for condors. Tim took the car to the Toyota garage to be checked over, then we had lunch with Colin on the hotel terrace - very sunny and warm. We have been away for 4 weeks now! I went for a walk and to the Post Office while Tim was back at the garage.
Great photo at the Toyota garage in Arequipa of happy owners after having their cars serviced for free!! All the owner wanted was a photo of us to put in the local paper to promote his garage.
I tried to look at the Cathedral and Monastery of Santa Catalina but they were closed. I went shopping and bought a bag instead. The hotel told us they have not been paid! We had dinner in the hotel and kept checking in the lobby to see whether Joanna Brown had paid (again), then discovered it was supposed to be up to the lawyer. Some of the participants wanted to pay again, but Joanna said not to. We hope we can leave as planned in the morning.
