I was at the cafe at 8am and of course no one from PeroHop was there, but I met other travelers again, so she'll be there. I ordered a coffee and a carrot cake for 12 soles (3€). It was very tasty and around 8:30 p.m. the lady came and explained to us that we were going to the bus station together and that our bus was leaving at 10:30 p.m. and we would be in Arequipa around 9 a.m. Michael from Munich was also there. We waited a bit in the café and then went to the bus station. There was a lot of hustle and bustle there, especially because several buses leave every 10 minutes to Lima or Arequipa and you have to be careful to get the right one. We didn't have to worry about anything. The lady from PeroHop sorted everything out, but next time I will definitely book a trip like this on my own. You are much more flexible there and the bus station is usually not that far away and if it is, you get a taxi. In the end it will be cheaper, but you won't have a contact person if problems suddenly arise. We then waited for almost an hour and were then able to get on the bus. And I have to say: I didn't expect much, but they were really very comfortable seats that could be folded way back. Everyone had a window seat and we had a curtain, multimedia program and even a small food package. The only thing that was a little annoying was the heat. In the meantime the ventilation was turned on, but that didn't help much. But otherwise the journey was very quiet. I chilled until around midnight and I was also happy that I now had internet. Then I slept until about 5 a.m. and woke up two or three times. Then I thought to myself, it's not worth it anymore. I ate something and then watched a series. Then I fell asleep again and then woke up around 7 and enjoyed the view the rest of the time. We drove through the steppe and it was funny because it was a single-lane road and we sometimes drove behind slow buses and then we still overtook them. We got there around 9am and were told that we have a transfer to the accommodation, but you can't rely on that. But a lady with a sign was waiting for us. We were then driven to our respective accommodations in two minibuses. Even though it was a long drive and I hadn't slept much, I already felt fit. Then I arrived at my hostel Las Mercedes...
