Chill Out, Not Burn Out

The day after the two girls, Lucy and Zdenek left as well, also to head to Mancora. It was sad to see them go, but at least it gave me an opportunity to avoid socialising for a bit and catch up on the blog. So that's what I did. That day I spent almost the whole day just sorting...

Machu Picchu lo da!!

Joder que si lo da!!! He pasado la noche en Aguas Calientes. Me he levantado a las 04:30 de la mañana. Llovia a mares. He esperado hasta que ha parado un poco y para arriba. Se puede subir de dos maneras: en autobus o andando. He subido andando y casi dejo el higadillo. Habrá con 1 o...

Am I Really Goofy?

Zdenek and I had agreed to go for a surf lesson, which started quite early. As usual it was really overcast so I didn't think any sun cream would be necessary. Typical: finally I get to a beach town and it's never sunny! There was about 45 minutes of "theory" before we headed out into the...

Fever and Chan Chan

I arrived at the hostel in Huanchaco, expecting to find Lucy and Zdenek already there, but they had actually stayed at another place the previous night, but two girls we had met in Sucre and then again in La Paz were there: Natasha and Sylvie. Lucy and Zdenek arrived later and we went out and...

Leaving Lonely Lima

There I was on Lima, on my own, still travelling, but no longer on honeymoon. So this is the new blog (or new trip on the same blog, to use the terminology of this website): leaner, meaner, and less likely to keep me as busy as a part time job. At least that is the intention and this entry, the...

Pateando por el Cañon del Colca

Pues eso, me levante a las 03:00 de la mañana para seguir durmiendo en un microbus. A las 06:30 de la mañana llegué a Chivay, la entrada del Valle del Colca. Tras desayunar nos fuimos a la Cruz del Condor, un mirador natural donde se puede ver el vuelo de este "pajarillo". De ahí a...

Los arequipeños dicen que no son peruanos.

Sali de Ica a las 23:00 horas del viernes direccion a Cuzco. En principio tenia que haber salido a las 18:00 horas pero en Abancay, una ciudad a mitad de camino, habia huelga. Por qué? No lo sé! Le pregunté a todo el mundo y no conseguí enterarme! El caso es que ibamos a salir a las 21:00...

Haciendo el cabra por el desierto

El jueves por la mañanita sali en autobus a Ica, a 5 horas de bus de Lima. De ahi un taxi hasta el oasis de Huacachina. Un paraje que perfectamente podria estar en Argelia, Tunez o Egipto. El oasis de Huacachina esta a 6 kms de Ica, la capital de la region. Y la verdad que no hay mucho que...

Goodbye

The hostel in Lima we had been recommended seemed very nice, and the owners were very friendly, introducing themselves and remembering everyone's name. It was a shame to have to leave Huacachina so soon as it has been very nice to relax for a change, after getting over the shock of no...
