Final Luxury

We had really splashed out for Huacachina, since it was Joanne's second last place, and we had already booked a hostel in Lima that we had been recommended, so this was the last indulgence. Imagine our disappointment to discover that the “hotel” has no internet facilities; not even ones you can...

Etch-a-Sketch Popinjay

As soon as we got off the bus in Nazca we were confronted by hoards of touts waving leaflets at us, all desperate for our business. We hadn't seen anything like this for a while, maybe since Asia, but it soon became clear that this really is a one-trick town: all the touts seemed really...

Upsidedown Munro

We got up on schedule at 2:30am, although I was a bit confused when the alarm went off. Racing around to be ready for the guide arriving “between 3am and 3:30am”, we were interrupted by the hostel bell going then a knock on the door by the owner. Our pickup had arrived five minutes early! I know...

Mugged Beef and Trade Unionists

When we arrived in Arequipa our hostel room wasn't yet ready. To be fair, the bus did arrive very early, although to be a bit more critical, the bus always arrives that early and the guy running the place had not come to pick us up at the bus station as promised. No matter, we just went to the...

Big Banana Feet

After returning from Aguas Calientes, it was quite late by the time we had checked back into our hostel, so we just went to the nearest restaurant for food. It seemed like quite a nice place and I ordered ''calzone''. It was large, as they often are, but the filling was a bit cold. It must have...

We had to get up at 5am to catch the train we had booked to '''Aguas Calientes''' ('''Machu Picchu Pueblo'''). There was one train before and others after ours, but we had booked the “backpacker” train, which was the cheapest option at US$50 ''each way''. Now considering you can travel the...

The End

How could I end the blog without one last final tribute to Matt Harding? I still haven't quite got his moves right. The man's a dancing genius, I tell you.

The Last of Peru

The day after I got back from the Inca trail, I started lessons at a Spanish school in Cusco. The school was pretty cool, with a roof terrace where students could chat to each other (if you managed to catch the sunny part of the day, usually in the morning). I had two weeks of one on one...
