... namelijk Chifa. Dit is een mengeling van Peruaans en Chinees (er zitten hier blijkbaar veel Chinezen). Het was moeilijk om iets van de kaart te kiezen aangezien we er niets van begrepen. We hebben dan maar voor noedels met kip gekozen. 't Was een verassing toen we ons bord kregen, in plaats van noedels lag er spaghetti op, samen met een sausje van bouillon...

Dinsdag zijn we naar de ruines van Chavin gegaan. Volgens de gids zijn deze ...

... and glacial lagoon around it. It was a fantastic sight and after admiring the view, posing for pictures and incredibly watching some of the ice from the glacier crack and fall, we headed back through the valley and down to the plains for 6 kilometers of walking to camp.

At a lower altitude Renee slept much better and following breakfast the next morning and a final pack of camp we walked the last 2 hours, mostly downhill (proving once and for all ...

... Peru! The rest of the walk was an easy downhill stroll to our camp that night...

The final day dawned and, after a small lie-in, we began our final descent through the valley, leaving behind the snowy Cordillera Blanca. The walk was easy and only took about four hours. I really enjoyed it, though a blister was beginning to develop by that time...

It felt great to finish and to relax on the bus back to Huaraz. It felt even better when I stepped into ...

Having a bed to sleep in, a friend to call, a family member to hug, a stove on which to cook my ramen.

... t matter, because I donīt think there was a spare in that town.

We drive 2 hours up the pass with a flat tire. All dirt road, huge rocks, holes in the road. Get to a cut in the mountain at the top and the driver looks, not good. We have about 39 more hairpin turns to go, all on unsealed chunky road. He decides to switch the flat front tire and a good back tire. We ride on the rim as far as we can.

We come across a stopped small tourist bus ...

... explained that the reason was because it was then at the time outside of the peak season and the demand for such tours were low; and that the majority of people going on these day tours were mainly Peruvians themselves or other South Americans. I checked my guidebook to see if there was a potentially English-speaking travel company. There was one in the area of La Soledad – old town. It’s the part of Huaraz that was not ...
