Los Delfines Summit Hotel & Casino - A Summit Hotel Lima

... from Lima.

The last time I went to Oxapampa I arrived at 8 in the morning, after an over-night bus ride from Lima (the bus actually arrived in La Merced, from which lots of buses and taxis ran direct to Oxapampa). I descended into the valley of Oxapampa as the sky cleared and the sun rose. It was stunning. The rolling hills were covered in climbing granadilla plants and large avocado trees, the light was ...

... pressure to get a poncho and instead appears to favouring the Alpaca jumper look. I can't wear my waterproof for anything but cycling these days as it's so grubby, my poor mother would turn in her grave if she thought I was wearing it out in public, so I have to find something that's warm and big enough to go over my fleece and other layers, should it get really cold. A poncho perhaps?

One more night in lima then it's country number 5, whahey.

Olá!
Começou a loucura!
Cheguei ao aeroporto de Santiago de Chile, depois de viajar num aviao vazio, mas sentada do lado de um missionário chileno da Assembléia de Deus, que era muito louco! Ele era super simpático e fez minha viagem muito mais divertida! hahaha

Passei a noite no Aeroporto, dormindo em duas poltronas, mas foi normal, só um pouquinho desconfortável. Peguei meu voo até Lima logo cedo. Chegando lá vi uma moça da FIPE ...

... electricity and food.......

How can you possibly fill a void where a mother has abandoned a chilt to the streets to prostetution, hunger and abuse?????? yet a smile can be offered by these young people which will be etched in our minds for the rest of our lives....

Emilio.. was one of these young people whom we will miss greatly. Although we have moved on, its my hope that he knows, we wont move on from him or forget about him..

... to those that were leaving and then finished packing our
bags ready to check out.

We left our bags in Andy and Sarah's room as they were staying an extra
night, and then met the remainder of the group in reception at 11am.
Once everyone was ready we caught taxi's to The Plaza de Armas to see
the changing of the guards. Whilst in the centre we had a walk around
and tried to visit a museum, unfortunately there ...

... but I snuck a few of the art in the church and down in the catacombs (WITHOUT FLASH, mind you). The art in the church dated back to the 17th century. It was beautiful! 7. Catacomb Facts - There was a large painting of a family tree of the Franciscans in 1734. I have a picture of this! - The catacombs were the first public cemetery in the colonial period (they are an under church labyrinth) - We only saw the first level of the catacombs but ...

... get beyond the hustle and bustle and you'll find Lima central is a lovely part of the city. Steeped in history with plenty to see. If you like museums. They love them. The best one was the Monasterio de Fransisco. This is an active monastary and the final resting place of approximately 75000 Peruvians. It isn't very quaint but common people where buried in mass graves and covered in quick ...

... at her hostel. Well, it wasn't long, and everybody was taking Spanish lessons, so there was a queue at the hostel for the teacher. After some days passed, I became really good friends with Debbie, and I decided to join her and our other buddy, Rick, in cusco, for the ride over to Puno. I had seen an ad on TV about Puno, and the Calendaria there, the 1st week in Feb, and I decided I had to go. So, I ...

It was finally time for me to leave Cuzco. I had to wait a while though as the bus that was to take me to Lima, only arrived at the station an hour later than planned. Seeing that Huaraz, the town I was heading for, was north of Lima, I had to first take an overnight ride to the capital and then get another overnight bus from there to Huaraz. The 22 hour overnight bus ride from Cuzco to Lima involved many curved roads going uphill and ...
