Donkey Pull

Ever tried to pull a donkey across a bridge? Spent the last three days on a trek though the Colca Canyon, the deepest canyon in the world (generally accepted as such, although there is another canyon nearby that some claim is the deepest) at 3400m. Thats twice the depth of the Grand Canyon btw. So day 1 we decended to the bottom of the canyon, where we had to cross a bridge and thats were the donkey trouble began. We had two donkeys with us carring our camping gear and they had no intention of crossing the bridge. It took myself and three other grown men about 10 minutes per donkey to cross the 40m long bridge. Im sorry, donkeys are plain dumb...even when there was only one meter left to go, they would resist and try to walk backwards. Day 2 we hiked along the base of the canyon until we came to an oasis where we spent the rest of the day swimming, relaxing in the sun and listening to bob marley. Day 3 we woke up early in the morning and climbed out of the canyon. As a final reward after the hike, we went to a hot spring. I slept outside both nights under the stars, life is good :)
