It was 40 degrees the other day when we climbed Santa Anna. Forty bloody degrees!
Fortunately it's cooler where we are now - in a town on the Ruta de la Flores called Juayua. It was a little surprising then when Philippa asked me last night if we should be concerned that there was a scorpion on the wall. Um yes we bloody should.
So like typical girls we looked at it for 5 minutes - I got some paper out and was going to try and slap it out of the room. But then we decided to let the manager deal with it.
Perhaps it happened every day.
Her screams on seeing said scorpion suggested it wasn't commonplace. She then squashed it with her shoe and she looked most distressed. Lovely girl too.
I had lovely dreams about scorpions climbing into my mouth all night.
