Arequipa

Arequipa is famous for the surrounding, high mountains and the wonderfull Colcoa Canyon maybe 20 km to the north. There are a lot of vincuñias, foxes and condors to see. But the lazy Timmy - sick of tours - didn't go anywhere close to these places. Instead he organized a new camera. There are basicly 2 ways to do this in Peru. Either you buy it at an electronics shop like in every other civilized country or you go the market. The market is less organized than an English pub after 3 hours of free beer. Prices are not fix, quality unpredictable and lies the thing you have to expect. The advantage of the market is that prices are cut by half. After talking to the various venders for 3 hours I chose my Digital Camera for 100$. When asking if there is a guarantee on the camera, the lady told me while laughing: "I don't think so". She truly didn't know.
I mostly hung out at the main plaza, where almost only locals chill in the sun, children feed doves and the sunbathing is best.
