This trip included the South American countries of Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil. Since I started learning Spanish, visiting Machu Picchu was a dream. I am glad I had the opportunity to visit. All was well with the exception of the immense headache from "Altitude Sickness". I am glad to say that at least on the day of the Machu Piccu visit, I was feeling GRAET!!! I also loved seeing the Uros Indians on Lake Titicaca. Buenos Aires was awesome, it reminded me of Beirut Lebanon.

Van Valparaiso was het weer met de bus richting het Andesgebergte. Chili is niet breed in kilometers, dus na ca. 3 uur rijden en klimmen met de bus zaten we al weer midden in de sneeuw. Met de bus moesten we een bergpas over en de grensovergang ligt natuurlijk zo´n beetje in het midden v…
