 Arriving in Arequipa by bus from Lima |
 15 hours drive with Volvo bus |
 Nice bakery in a courtyard |
 tasting freshly baked buns |
 it seems blue is the colour here... |
 and with red doors and tourist |
 with beautiful plants as well |
 Arequipa by night |
 with the big church |
 next to Plaza de las Armas |
 somebody is praying |
 in front of the church´s |
 beautiful status |
 which are lit up during the night |
 another church entrance |
 some crazy taxi drivers |
 crossing the street can be a challenge |
 another angle of the church |
 and from a restaurant roof top |
 Mac Donalds got here too... |
 and Starbucks, where I am sitting now |
 the city is surounded by high mountains |
 but it has its traffic problems |
 and Movistar advertisements everywhere |
 and another church |
 on a hill with beautiful view |
 to the snow mountains |
 and palm trees |
 in the background one can see |
 El Misti vulcano 5822 meters high |
 my guide inside the Monastery |
 Santa Catalina |
 with its beautiful painted |
 colourful walls |
 where nuns were living |
 and a superb view |
 with a little angel |
 and the painting of Ana de los angeles |
 and another tourist standing in the way... |
 beautiful painting |
 and a golden cross |
 Silence please ! |
 with a beautiful blue |
 couryard inside |
 the monastery |
 everything is blue ! |
 same tourist again standing in the way... |
 and the Archangel |
 Sunset on the second day |
 of my stay in Arequipa |
 with beautiful side streets |
 and a procession that I bumped into |
 where some military officers |
 carried a saint around town |
 which included some firework |
 it looked quite spooky |
 and then a really big firework |
 started in front of the church |
 looked really |
 amazing |
