Post bus-scribbles - unwinding

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 | By anita | Views [497]

So the previous writings were things we learned on our way to Chavín. The ride itself was a bit long, the ruins were nice, but not as cool as Tikal (in Guate), and the ride back was pretty intensely long. When I got back, I knocked on Fleur and Kuwait’s ... Read more >

Off to Peru!

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 | By anita | Views [510]

Arrived! ...even if quite groggily. I zipped right through customs, took some money out, and at the inexplicably simple push-of-a-green-button, I was released!...to the hoards of taxi drivers. I'm waiting in the airport until dawn, however, before ... Read more >

The Rest of Peru

Wed, 4 Aug 2010 | By lol | Views [1364]

I first visited Peru five years ago, and have longed to come back ever since. Back then I only visited the Titicaca Lake and trekked the so called Inca trail from Cusco to Machu Piccu, but I knew there was more to Peru. And so, finally, I got to ... Read more >
