Van Ecuador naar Peru...
... warm (ongeveer 38 graden?) en werden we meteen geconfronteerd met de nieuwe munteenheid. Geen dollars meer maar nuevo sol! In Piura zelf werd het een hele taak om een nieuwe sim-kaart te bemachtigen met een Peruviaans nummer dus trakteerden we ons daarna ...

San Pedro, Pachamanka and Peruvian Ponies
People said, "It's grey and damp in Lima, you won't like it." Well, it is but we did. It is winter after all and what Scottish skies, although the "rain" was never more than a wee drizzle. We did the usual city stuff, museums, churches, falling over on ...
