Big Banana Feet

After returning from Aguas Calientes, it was quite late by the time we had checked back into our hostel, so we just went to the nearest restaurant for food. It seemed like quite a nice place and I ordered ''calzone''. It was large, as they often are, but the filling was a bit cold. It must have...

Alpaca: clothes and food

The overnight bus to Cusco was incredibly hot. At least is wasn't freezing cold, but why can't they get it right? It seems that the temperature outside being above 23C means they have to try and lower it to 10C, whereas the outside temperature being above 23C means they have to try and increase...

Exploring Cusco

The guys running the hostel are jerks so we opt to find a better place in the neighborhood. San Blas has a great view of the city, with narrow cobblestone streets and steep roads that in some cases only hold enough room for pedestrians. We take care of our plans for the Inca Trail and start...

On the archaeological trail

I got into Chachapoyas about 6.30am, after a fairly comfortable journey on a night bus (my first – but by no means last - of the trip). It was a significant detour on my route towards Lima, and then Cusco, but there was a ruins called “Kuelap” I wanted to check out. I didn't have a lot of time...

Inconsistent Internet in Pleasant Peru

Sleeping in Cusco was cold as a witches titty. Packs of tousists meandered amongst crowds of other torusists. They all had the same deal going. Camera slung over the neck, all of them costing probably at least a couple grand, floppy hat mated down on the head, the newest North Face...
