Day: 371
As I said in the last post, I am currently exhausted as I write both these posts at the same time. To make my extremely hard life (sarcasm), harder, I have a bus into the driest desert on the planet (in northern Chile) tomorrow morning with the sunrise.
You picture hungry people out [...]

Colca Valley is the worlds deepest canyon, even more so than the Grand Canyon, unfortunately after spending two days getting on and off the uber-touristy tourist bus non-stop, I am not really up to writing much. Needless to say, to have such a vast canyon you need great altitudes (upwards of 5000 meters), to [...]

I did three things today;
I took care of lots of internet based “business” for a number of hours in the morning, writing emails that needed written, checking up on things that needed checking on, and working on a few of the weddings I have booked for the summer.
We spent the afternoon perusing Peru (I [...]
Day: 368
I woke up in the middle of the fucking desert. No idea where we were or how long it would take to get there. The bus was moving at what seemed an excessively slow pace and after filling up with passengers from a bus that broke down in the middle of the night, [...]

I realized these last few days have been rather dull, with constant buses and cities and such, but soon there will be all kinds of crazy outdoor adventures and such, so please bear with us.
In case you were wondering, we piled back in a bus for another 20 hours south today. Woopee!

We don´t have a guide book for Peru, we are kind of winging it as we go. Ed is meeting us two weeks from the end of our trip to catch Maccu Picchu and Cusco,and he is bringing a Lonely Planet. Felicia and I are working our way south now (when we leave [...]
Day: 365
Getting off the bus in Lima at 10am this morning we realized we hadn´t slept in a bed in two nights and Felicia´s spine seemed misaligned and was giving her a slight pain. We found a cab into Miraflores (the wealthier beach district in Lima) and found our hostel rather easy. Unfortunately our [...]

“No, no es possible,” the senorita at the counter said to us mechanically and rather unapologetically. With a requisite “Gracias”, we bolted out of Banco del Trabajo (Worker’s Bank) and back into a cab.
“Are you sure? Let’s check again,” I said, as Rob and I ran back into our budget hostel for the [...]
Day: 363
Cuenca to Loja – 6 hours in a over-crowded bus with small children constantly sneezing on Felicia.
Loja: – 6 hours sitting in the bus station talking with some Brit medical students, waiting for the night bus.
Loja to Puira (Northern Peru) – 9 more hours sitting in the dark, with a five foot tall [...]
Day: 362
I am about to get on a bus to spend the next couple of days crossing Peru, so i don´t really have much time to put stuff up today, and I don´t know how many more days until I´ll update again. Soon, though, I promise.
