Run for the border

Bus ride from Arequipa to Tacna was infinitely better. thank god. We knew we were cutting it a little close with time, getting to Tacna around 9pm and having to get to the border into CHile before it closed. Unfortunately by the time we made it over to the taxis to go to Chile no one would take us. Frustrated we thought we could convince someone to make a run for it, but alas, we failed. So we had to call our hostel in Arica, Chile, just over the border and cancel, adn find some hotel in Tacna for the night. It all worked out. We found somewhere to sleep and took a cab first thing the next morning to Arica, CHile. And after waiting in a long line at the customs we can see why no one would take us at 10pm when the border closes at midnight.
But finally around 9am we made it across the border.
It was sad to say goodbye to Peru, we really loved it. But again, like any place you really love, it´s always a relief to know you´ll come back.
