After the Inca Trail we spent a few days sorting our lives out. We both did a mountain of washing and I got my trousers repaired, a haircut and a new phrasebook (mainly because I needed one in order to get the trousers repaired and a haircut). Our main task, however, was working out where we...

Machu Picchu

The final day of the Inca Trail was one of such heightened emotions and vivid, surreal moments that I know I will never, ever forget it. We woke at 3.15am and quickly stuffed ourselves with a pancake before making our way to a checkpoint. The large wooden gates were closed and would not be open...

The Navel of the World... haa

Describing Cuzco in a manner which does the city justice left me staring at a blank page for longer than is probably considered reasonable. It demands a complex level of appreciation that I have neither the time nor the vocabulary to reflect but I will try to paint you a few pictures in my usual...

Nazca lines

We travelled to Nazca with two girls from Huacachina - a completely insane Korean girl called Mia and a quiet girl called Larissa who did her best to calm her down. We got a taxi to the Nazca lines early in the morning in order to avoid the coachloads of tourists that promised to arrive later...

Sealions and Sandboarding

The Ballestas Islands were extremely impressive in spite of the grey foggy day which seemed set to ruin any hope of us seeing anything. After a short speedboat ride, skimming through the mist along soft silver waves, a series of islands began to emerge. As we got closer we could see that they...
