Huacachina, Peru 🇵🇪

It’s like being in a movie, I have woken up in a real friggin oasis! Sit outside for breakfast just enjoying watching this sleepy place wake up. Nicole is on a lunchtime bus to Paracas where as I leave tonight, so time for a morning Pisco vineyard tour. 

The South American people prefer sweet wine (well, sweet anything). The Spanish brought the grapes and utilised the Inca jars for effective fermentation.  The weather is so warm here that it just takes 2 weeks for fermentation, less for semisec wines.  We try a couple of wines that are tasty but super sweet, a Pisco that is 14% and tastes of mouthwash but finally a creme version similar to baileys.  I like this so much I have it as a sauce on my ice cream!

I met two American ladies yesterday and we spend the afternoon by the oasis enjoying a brownie.  My ankle is still swollen, so no walking up the dunes for me let alone sandboarding.  This evening we, along with Liam & Nicki are back on the bus for the short trip to Paracas.
