Internet was off at this point and all this stuff was written in a journal on paper. Why am I telling you this well it’s to point out that from Arequipa the world of Internet was a pipe dream pretty much and it was only to get worse for the next few days.I needed it [...]

Arequipa was a place Robbie the Rob and I had become pretty comfortable with. The scenery, the food, the ladies it had a real comfort zone about it that meant we spent a few more days here than we had planned to. But the our travel itinary was pushing us further south to Puno and [...]

Ok so this was my entry to the world of mountains and trekking. I was excited but nervous at the same time. Excited by the sights but nervous about my fitness levels especially my lungs which are Asthma prone. And as you always forget something when you pack I forgot my inhaler.

The Colca Canyon [...]

Rob and I are just kicking it here in Arequipa. Loving it, some real nice sights and people. Not going to write a lot today. Paid to go to the Arequipa Monestry which was amazing. My pictures are really good. Check my Flickr feed. Going to head to the Colca Canyon tomorrow to trek in [...]

This trip has been a whistle stop tour so far. Me and Robby the Rob have not really stopped any place for more than a day at a time and here we are, day six at Nazca home of the Nazca Lines. We left Ica where we slept on day 5 and took a bus at [...]

After a fairly uneventful day at Paracas and Pisco we made our way to a place called Huacachina by bus. It is here we would get involved in the Ica desert and partake in sand boarding which was something I had been told we should not miss here in Peru.

Wow what a fantastic day. [...]

Well it is day four and as you can see there are plenty of internet connections to feed my sad addiction to twitter and blogging in the hostels we are staying at. Daniel the guy we just met from San Fran last night is still kicking it with us after a day out in Paracas [...]

So we got up and left Lima today and after scramberling to change money and get a bus ticket we headed out of Lima city south on the pacific coast to Pisco. It is a 5 hour bus journey to this sleepy town that was hit by an earthquake in 2007.

We were on the [...]

After meeting up with Robby the Rob for the first time in seven months which has been really nice, we went out for the night after I finally made it out of bed. Going back on your self west across the atlantic is hard jetlag wise. I have been travelling to south east asia and [...]
