I was supposed to be up again at 6.15 so I coul dhave  shower before going back to the airport but slept in and only just leapt out of bed in time for teh arrival of my taxi.  At the airport it was a completely different experience from ARgentina.  As soon as I walked in th…

I arrived in Lima after surviving nearly sweating myself to death on the overnight Z-Buss (S.45/£10/$15).  I had managed to get off to sleep in the extremely comfortable leather seats (yet another first) when I woke at about 2am in a bath of my own sweat.  The driver had for some reason …

Finally arrived in Lima last night.  After a week of camping, tents full of sand, cold showers etc - having a hotel room feels like the height of luxury. Did my bridge swing in the end on Thursday before leaving Rio Verde.  Scared myself silly but it was great still, well worth…

It was deLICIous!  I felt emotionally and physically comfortable - until about day 6 when the weight gain started to take effect - and culturally stimulated and there were visual and audio and culinary delights!  Even a few tactile delights for my long, elegant hands!  The only thing…

Time has come for aonther yearly trip to Europe. This year we celebrate my parents anniversary so the trip has to be special all the way. Of course, thanks to the wonders of the internet (and Google Earth in particular), now it is so much easier to make the best choices and be sure that what you se…

I shared great time with my old friend Claudia and her babies, sister in low and her friend, after  almost 3 years we met again here in Lima in Miraflores where she rented a nice apartment close to Larco Mar which is a good place where you can see in front of it the beach hmmm and eat deliciou…

Hey all, Today is day 1 of my South American adventure.  I landed early this morning in Lima and grabbed at Green Taxi to my hostel.  After sleeping for the morning, the guy running the place called one of his buddies to arrange a surfing trip for me.  Turns out there is good surfin…

so i already came back home from peru. i went with my mom and dad and some other relatives to go to two of my cousin's weddings there. It was my first time there which was really excited for my parents because they wanted to show me where they were born and raised. The city is huge! My uncle told …

It took three weeks of the biggest highs and lows of my life before we finally arrived. I thought it would be simple--just buy a cheap plane ticket from edreams.com and then go! The actual purchase of my ticket was the only easy thing about it! Buying a ticket from the Spain-based travel company…

Ok, I have heard that Lima is cool and there are some really cool places, I mean, come on, its the City of Kiungs for God`s sake! But, that was definitley not the impression I saw. We had, another, really dificult bus ride from Cusco to Lima. The highway goes right through the Andes and you …

In Lima I toured San Francisco Church. There were lots of hip, skull and leg bones in the church catacombs. I liked the wooden dome roof above a staircase and the library with the old books and spiral stairs. The religious artwork did not seem to have as much indigenous themes. I liked the Last…

This year was amazing, we managed to do not one but TWO round the world. Once going west using STAR Alliance and another one going east using OneWorld Alliance. Check Photos on each stop!

Some of the nicest people and biggest mountains i've encountered to date.

Went to Mancora, a beach town in northern Peru near the Ecuadorian border. Hot weather, even in "late fall"

I couldn't have imagined how beautiful a country could be until I saw it for my own eyes. The land is dramatic with colors, terrain, snow filled mountain tops to lush farm lands. Most think of Machu Picchu as being Peru but there is much more.
