That is so not kosher

Hey all,
Its been a fun and adventure filled few days for us. On wednesday morning we went to Huacachina, an amazing oasis in the middle of the desert - we were literally surrounded by huge sand dunes everywhere we looked. We had a 5 hour coach journey to get there which not only involved jazz/lounge covers of Beat It, While my guitar gently weeps and other classics being played on the tv system, an introductory video that reminded us that "the toilets on the bus are only for urinating. If you need to do anything else, please notify a member of staff so that we can stop somewhere" (this was then repeated via loudspeaker, very intrigued as to what terrible things people did in the bus bathrooms) but also showings of maybe the two worst films ever (one of them involved adam sandler in TWO roles...).
When we arrived in Huacachina we went on a dune buggy tour in the desert which was amazing if slightly scary and then we went sandboarding which is basically snowboarding but lying on your stomach and on sand, and then watched the sunset over the dunes. The next day we went on a tour of two of the local bodegas/pisco distilleries which were basically shacks on the side of the road but very amusing and the first one even had a discoteca! Our tour guide on the second tour also treated me to a spot of traditional peruvian dancing...with me. Photos to come, it was awkward.
On that day we also came back into our dorm to find that we were now sharing it with a peruvian family with two children. Not only did the smaller child have very noisy nightmares all night but the parents for some reason did not understand the concept of turning their phones off and we kept being woken up by them ringing (their ringtone was la bamba) and also by the ridiculously loud reggaeton from the nearby hostel. But hey ho.
Also mizz hurt her foot but its fine now.
The next day we went to Paracas for a two hour tour of the national reserve there which was beautiful and very impressive. We met the grumpiest Australian ever who kept complaining about how awful it is sleeping in hostels, how much he hates spending time travelling, how bad travelling in a group is and how he couldnt be bothered to learn any spanish and was now suffering. Please shout at us if we become like this.
After that we went back to Lima and went out with some of the israeli guys we had met a few days ago from our hostel. It was exactly what we had hoped for from latino nightlife; getting drunk and dancing as though we were south american to spanish music. The israelis were less impressed with the music ("why arent they playing hip hop? Im going to talk to the manager") but theyre very nice and we are already sad at the thought of saying goodbye to them tomorrow. Today we spent the day on the beach with them while they surfed and we ate amazing mangoes that we had bought off the street (hello soon to be food poisoning but so worth it).
Tomorrow we are flying to Iquitos to go to the amazon for four days!!!! So wont be in contact with anyone for a bit.
Lots of love
