Yesterday I met Lubor and we agreed to meet today in the afternoon. I even gave him some recommendations about what to visit in Lima during the morning, hehehe. But plans should change. I'd forgotten I volunteered to drive to the airport and pick up my aunt. I got her flight info and she and my cou…

It was about 11am when we arrived to Lima itself. Lima is so big and the areas are different among each others. We were coming from the north, so the first area we saw was the one called "Cono Norte". This area used to be just some houses and factories, with some chaotic roads. It's still chaotic, …

Usually I don't drive to the airport by myself when it's late. It could be a bit unsafe for a girl driving alone. But I would do an exception this time. I promised Eric a long time ago to pick up him from the airport when he arrived to Lima. So, I had to honor my promise, but I had an idea. I convi…

Buuu, so sad holidays were over. I really had a great time showing a friend around my Perucito!!! Knew new places, met nice people, visited family and did something I've never done before: trekking!!! Well, not everything was so perfect. I lost my camera... but not the pics and even though the fina…

It was almost 9pm when we arrived home. We just parked when the door opened. It was mom. We have telepathy, hahaha. After hugs and kisses I came inside and was amazed that Gunther didn't come to the door barking. "Mmm, where is he, mom?" Mom told me he was at the backyard. Nobody had time to take h…

At 6:30 pm we met again in front of the church and with a few cabs we went to Barranco. After waiting a little bit on the main square Yadi showed us around. We had a tradition to walk over a bridge, the sign bridge, with your eyes closed. Heey, that was just like a dutch ‘Polonaise’ J If you ke…

We are exhausted from a two day tour to the Colca Canyon and back, having seen many llamas, alpacas, handicrafts and other tourists.  We also witnessed the beauty that is a condor soaring high above this morning after a 5 a.m. wake up call.  But first… I got robbed!!    Yes…

It seemed to be yesterday when I joined this site. It's still difficult for me (don't know about the rest, but I guess it's much more complicated for them) to believe how committed / addicted  to this site I am. No complains at all about this addiction. I enjoy it!!!How did I join this site? W…

A few months ago i was watching a television program about Dutch prisoners caught in foreign countrys. Every year hundreds of Dutch people are caught in south-America and that fact shocked me because we Dutch people are good and fair people right? Why so mutch Dutch people are getting caught…

On 17th of September I met Susan (sweetlovercat85) from San Borja, Lima. After meeting in Miraflores and thinking about what we could do we decided to head for the district of San Miguel to go to the Parque de las Leyendas, Lima´s main zoo. In the park you can see species from around the world bu…

After enjoying meetups in Costa Rica and Colombia, I was privileged to attend the super shindigs in lovely Lima, Peru. Yadi entertained us and kept us hopping with a TravBuddy Museum tour, super sight-seeing adventures, gorgeous parks, fabulous fountains, sensational sculptures, remarkable Pacific coastline, karaoke, pisco sours, dancing, singing troubadors, ancient artifacts, pyramids, magnificent meals, presents and non-stop fun for two tremendous days.

The trip was for charity and I was extremely nervous at first as I had not met anyone prior to arriving in London the night before we travelled. We'd had contact through emails and everyone seemed really nice, open and up for a laugh. On arrival, this was certainly the case so I soon relaxed a…

A weeklong adventure in Cuzco visiting surrounding architectural and historical sites including Machu Picchu and several incan and pre-incan locations in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

Lima is the capital of Peru, but also a capital of scam and we, but of course, were on the receiving end of a well-practiced sting one evening in the touristy Miraflores district. Whilst searching for a restaurant serving some different cuisine (i.e. one offering anyth…

coming back from the internet cafe i met 4 other people from the group and thank god the first impression was great! we spent the afternoon strolling around miraflores, do some minor shopping (love my new belt hehe) and finished with a visit to el parco amor (sp?) a great little park on the coa…
