Day 2 Limatambo to Andahualas

Day 2 saw us up at 7am ready to make progress. I made a malaria tablet error; taking the tablet before having eaten. A one time mistake which resulted in a rapid sequence as follows:

1) take tablet
2) five minutes later feel nauseous, and inform my buddies
3) find nearest bush and vomit profusely.

We made a good start to Abancay where we picked up more cash (for petrol and food), enjoyed a chicken lunch. In the afternoon we climbed an enormous mountain pass, which was both spectacular and frustrating. 3 hours (of non-stop driving) after leaving Abancay, we could just look down into the valley and see it - prob ably less than 10km away asa the cros flies...testament to the amazong winding roads and steep climb we had been doing. We'd probably driven 50km, but the actual distance travelled on a map was negligible.

 Then, as night fell, atop the mountain, a fatal breakdown for our convoy buddies, resulting in us freewheeling their vehicle down from the highest point of a pass where it broke, fully 35km (I'm not exagerating) down into the town, in the pitch black, on terrifying mountain passes, it was a thrilling experience whilst at the same time probably being the most dangerous thing we've ever done.
