A Not-So Smooth Start...

Okay so Chris and I left Long Island for Peru, yesterday around 8 pm. When we got to JFK we had a long line for baggage check, we had alot of impossible long lines in the airport, we wanted to get some food before the plane but the only restuurant was close so that was a no go, but we did get snacks and drinks sat down for a while and I got to do one of my favorite activities (people watching!)there were LOTS of cute guys heading to Peru let me tell you! whooo! ;) Anyway, Chris and i had a se...

Day Two - Arequipa City

We had a nice relaxing day just walking around and getting acquainted with Arequipa. The breakfast on our hotel balcony was very picturesque. I could have stayed there all day drinking their fabulous café con leche. We walked around the plaza and checked out the cathedral. Julie was tired and moving at a snail's pace in spite of going to bed around 8 PM, so we stopped and got her fix (coca-cola). She perked right up after that. Later in the day we went to the Museo Santuary to see Jaunita (Ic...

Day Five - Arequipa

We got up this morning planning to do nothing on our last day here but see the Santa Catalina Monastery and then just hang out and relax before our big bus trip to Cusco. As luck would have it, while we were eating breakfast on the balcony we noticed some military guys walking around, and then more, and then bands, and flags, and banners. We had no idea what was going on but we had a great view. After it got started we decided to go down to the plaza and check it out a little closer. After th...

Flight of the Concords, sorry, Condors

... Because the bus didn´t bloody exist and they lied so that we would do the Canyon tour with them. I would like to name and shame them but I can´t remember what they are called.<br><br>Anyway, we luckily found someone who was actually useful. He explained we woud have to change at Puno and that someone would meet us there to give us tickets to Copacabana. He even said he would pick us up and bring us to the terminal. In the end we got picked up pretty late but ...

Bordom and the Dead

... to the mountain gods to stop it happening again. To me the sheer thought that people in reed sandals made it to those kind of heights without tents and thermos flasks is miracle enough for me. Because it was so cold up there once she was killed Juanita froze almost immediately so 500 years later she is perfectly preserved down to her skin, hair, fingernails and even nail polish unchipped! <br><br>I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s not that interesting for you ...

Don't be Cuy with me

... than anything else. Then only when it arrived was I hit by the sudden realization that I hadn't actually prepared myself adequately for what was to come. I'd been a bit too blasé about it, to be frank. And then, without any fanfare or ceremony, some roadkill appeared on my table. It was a whole guinea pig. Identifiably guinea piggy. Eyes, teeth, piggy claws and the whole deal. Oh my God - its a guinea pig! Preparation is minimal for this dish, it seems ...

Vaya Con Dios - Peru

... sports in Peru, or the mess I would have made had the rope snapped or any of the other myriad of things that could have gone wrong I would have never jumped. But by keeping my mind clear I had nothing to hold me back and as such I launched myself into the void and had an experience that was...indescribable.<br> <br> In short, always trust your first instinct for the more time you have to think about things, the more time you have to think yourself out of things.<br> <br> If you ...

Cruising with the condors

... which Daniella is now sick of). The town did have an interesting event taking place - a bull fight in the towns amphitheatre, unlike in Spain, they do not kill the bulls after the fight. We assembled at the amphitheatre at 12 noon, which was the apparent start time, thothing much seemed to happen for the next 3 hours , as the arena gradually filled with people. The crowd enjoyed whipped egg white deserts as snacks before and ...

A volcano, a mummy...and many yellow taxis

... 8211; a snow-capped volcano &#8211; standing in the background. I had said my goodbyes to David and Gyon who had by now gone off to do the Colca Canyon trek on their own. I will miss them - they were a good laugh. I strolled about in the city and found that i liked it more than Lima &#8211; smaller, cleaner and having more of a friendlier buzz to it. And the sun seemed to shine there every day. The town has also many colonial Spanish buildings and churches ...

Colca Canyon and Santa Catalina

... interesting thing about the canyon or it's people, nor the condor. He didn't lead the group, he didn't help the girls suffering painfully from the blisters on their feet. The company didn't feed us nearly enough, and with very poor quality food, basically just a little rice and vegetables. Disappointed, to say the least - if I had done the trip independently, at least I could have chosen my own food, and therefore had the energy I needed to finish it.<br><br ...
