touring and rafting in the Urubamba Valley

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...

BALD DOGS AND MOLES

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 militar...

CULINARY EXPERIENCE AND WATERFOUNTAIN



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 fish and ...

... of any reason why I should not pop these on the way back in a month or so, and save the pain of 4 days of being a zombie? Answers on a postcard...<br><br>Lima is a much more interesting city than I thought it would be. I´ve only been here a day but I´ve had such a good time. I went into the city this morning, taking the obligatory crazy-bus. Buses ply a swift trade up and down the Av. Arequipe that runs into the centre of Lima and ...

Northbound and Down

... One quote I will steal from Simon that really hit home on my thoughts of travel and life in general: ¨Magic was simply experiencing something for the first time. My purpose should be to increase the number of such moments until maybe, one day, everything could be magic ¨ It´s seems to me that there should be no reason in the world that I feel the way I have for the past 10 days. For some reason, I have been in a horrible mood and can ...

Two days in Lima

... thing. I barely looked at them because I was embarrassed. By the way, I found the owner of the other bag, explained what happened and helped him locate his shoes... Fast forward to today, I decided to walk down by the beach this afternoon and I was just strolling along when someone said hi. I completely ignored him because I had been getting hi, hey baby, hey you, hola, hello chica and wolf whistles for 2 days. Then he said, `you don´t recognize me do you?´ Huh? He ...

On the other day it was the usual getting lost with no map, beer and hot sun. They found one nice wine bar where the waitress took a BIG shine to Bri, even gave him her e-mail address.... see... he has still got it. Bri also had a ...

Dust in the wind

... was sitting on my seat under a bus blanket, listening to relaxing music while drifting off to sleep. A beautiful song by Kansas called "Dust in the wind" was playing on the bus&#8217;s speaker system when it was rudely interrupted by the steward to tell us we were due to leave Lima shortly. I fell into a deep sleep soon afterwards to actually sleep through the whole night. The following morning I awoke just in time as we approached Huaraz.
