Today was a long day but so much fun!! Bram and I were picked up at 8:30AM and were part of a 30 person tour to the Sacred Valley. The drive all day long was so scenic with mountains all the way. Sometimes we drove up them and sometimes down them. Our first couple of stops were along the side of the road on some mountains that overlooked the valley below and mountains in the distance. Next we stopped just for 20 minutes at a market. The first section was filled with women selling produce, ve...

Our body clocks are out of kilter so a slow start to the day. Miluska our guide met us this morning and took us on a guided tour of the city, visiting the Cathedral and San Francisco Convent. The latter was really interesting as under the convent were the catacombs where people had been buried over the centuries (the convent was built after the Spanish arrived in 1600s). The bodies had been cleared out but there were still masses of bones and skulls.
In the main plaza we saw a mil...
We did not quite know what to expect but this morning we were going on a culinary experience. We were picked up by Fernando who explained that our first port of call was the market. Quite honestly after experiencing these in Bangkok and Indian I was not holding out for a delightful time but this market was a surprise. It was owned by the vendors and the standard was exceptionally high with produced displayed as if in a competition at a country fair. We were introduced to the f...

... in the Digemin waiting room watching the equivalent of Peruvian C-Span - I was told that they would not approve the prescrition because they didnt have the medication I had in the FedEx in Peru. I kind of lost my cool with them becasue the medication is needed and the freegin reason it is being sent to me is because it is NOT in Peru! So after an hour of escalating my complaint withing the Digemin ranks they finally approved the ...

... colleagues clearly thought I was dead. So I took the hint and got up.
I was meeting the rest of the Intrepid Group tomorrow but decided to work up the courage to open the curtains and discover that all of sudden deathville had turned into a pedestrian street teaming with locals and only locals - not a gringo in sight. The main square was just two blocks away as it happened. The place was transformed in daylight. So I headed out and got some cash in the ...
... but at only 9 soles we couldn't complain, and there was plenty of rice and mashed potatoes to fill us up.
We found the electricity museum, and took the ride on the old streetcar with three very happy families that appeared to be locals (Practically all the tourists we've encountered are from somewhere in South America - the only gringos we've seen are young backpackers in starbucks-burger king-mcdonalds type settings) The streetcar traveled about four blocks ...
... looking for. I walked down to the plaza for dinner. It was busy as. This morning I decided to walk to Park de la Cultura. My map says it is about 4km but it is not to scale cos it only took an hour. The park is an island between two streets and has heaps of amazing old statues but it is all fenced off for some reason. It is just outside the main court house and I sat on the steps for a rest and the security told me to move on. It was only 8am and the place was in full ...

... of delivering the kind of meaty dialogue to save these characters from jail or unjust poverty. It's a fine performance, with genuine regret in his stage presence for any offence we have caused. We never received the education of reading and interpreting the body language of fine government officials such as our captor... can we put this one down to learning and promise to be more careful in future? It's at this point that our captor overplays his role and reaches far beyond his acting ...

Saturday 24th January - Day 11 - Callao/ At Sea This proved to be a more relaxing day than the previous one as the ship was to remain in Callao until 1pm when it would set sail for the 4½ day crossing from Peru to Easter Island - a distance of more than 2,000 miles. As we were berthed at a working dock in Callao we were unable to disembark the ship and wander on our own, we had to catch the ships shuttle either into Miraflores (45minutes away ...
