Aji Restaurant, 6:30pm, Plaza de Armas de CuscoWaiting for dinner to arrive.  I feel tired, like I should have taken a nap today.  I want to go to bed very early.  I don't mean to be a party pooper, but I usually don't try to cram so much into my trips.  More rest.  Well, t…

Hi all, After a long days travelling today we arrived in Lima, Peru local time at 6pm. We´ve arrived at the hostel which is excellent, quite a few English people here and we´ve just been out and bought a few local cans of brew to drink. Then off to bed and out to explore tomorrow. The adventure…

By the time I was back at home it was already Sunday 4th... The drive didn't take long. Streets were almost empty...Wow! it was so hot in Lima! I arrived home and my dad opened the door. Even before he did it, I could listen to Gunther, hehe. Dad gave me a big hug and we went inside where mom was w…

Things have been sooooo crazy lately that I haven’t had time to write my Lima Meetup blog.  Now, memories have started to fade slightly so I’m just going to post pictures.  Go to Yadi’s blog (click here for Yadi's blog) to get the full details of the AWESOME Meetup!!  Thank…

Vacations were over. We arrived to Lima on Sunday, full of stories and with full bags too, haha. I don't know if they were more interested in me or in the things I brought for them, mmm. We'll see. So good I got a magnet of Florida. I haven't started to collect them yet, but got one just for fun, h…

We got to Lima, Peru two days earlier than expected. We were originally intending to fly into Lima on the 1st May, however between the 1st being a public holiday and us needed some extra time to get to cuzco we decided to shift the flight forward to the 29th April. We´d been reading the lonely p…

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.

I quite like Peruvian food. The family I am living with has a lady who lives with them and cooks all of the food from scratch! Fresh veggies, fresh fruit... NO processed foods... soup made from scratch, freshly squeezed or blended fruit juice. I have been in heaven! :) How will I ever managed to go…

It´s a bit of a long haul back down here from Mancora, we were told maybe 17 hours, but as experienced South American high class pleasure seekers, we took this with a pinch of salt and just took what was coming to us.  Infact it was 24 hours later that we finally got off the bus and made our …

I'm not good writing, but this time I wanna tell you about the wonderful time that I had in the meet up in Lima. I arrived on friday, and I met with Jim and James for lunch. We had a nice time. Then, I met everybody in Barranco, it was so nice. They are so friendly, then we went to la Posada…

Not a very exciting day, just driving through to Lima and finding our way to the bus. The road is pretty good – this is the same Panamerican highway that we were on in Puerto Varas in Chile.   The way through Lima was surprisingly painless. We followed the signs through an industrial, por…

Kristi and I caught our early morning shuttle to the airport.  When we hopped on that plane out water bottles went "Oh no, the air pressure has changed from 12,600 feet to 6,000 feet.  Collapse!"  Which they promptly did.  The flight time from Puno to Lima was an hour and 15 min…

The storied capital of the Incan Empire and gateway to the imperial city of Machu Picchu, Cusco(also spelled as Cuzco) is one of the undisputed highlights of South America. Stately and historic, with stone streets and building foundation laid by the Incas more than 5 centuries ago, the town is much…

This was my first TB meetup! I will never forget you guys!!!

Off to the Incan Wonderland & stuffing myself silly with the local delectables!! (Photos curtesy of BM, TX)
