         		 Peruvian hot showers, one of the most lethal devices in the world. The first time I used one, my head touched the nozzle. I then recieved a huge electric shock and bright flashing for about 3 seconds. It was quite a thrill. : by tk-tempany, Views[813]
     
    On our way back to Lima along the barren coast of Peru. The little shanty homes along this stretch were of stark contrast to the homes we saw a few days later on California's Highway 1.: by tk-tempany, Views[821]
         		 Thankfully we made it down the mountain safely. This was almost at Huaraz, where Kathryn was waiting for my return. It was a blessed reunion.: by tk-tempany, Views[755]
         		 We eventually got going again. I was horrified when we came over this pass and realised we would be descending down this road. To think the steering had just snapped and then been repaired with some rusty bolts concerned me a little. : by tk-tempany, Views[703]
         		 After about 5 hours on the bus trip back to Huaraz, we came across some mechanical issues. The steering had snapped. We were here for an hour while the driver fiddled with rusty metal. : by tk-tempany, Views[774]
         		 On the bus trip back to Huaraz (where Kathryn was staying), I met this friendly father and daughter from Lima. : by tk-tempany, Views[466]
     
    My second stop was a shower. The hot water from this shower came directly out of the mountain. It was bliss and I sat in here for atleast 4 hours soaking my aching muscles.: by tk-tempany, Views[429]
         		 My first stop once reaching the village was a restaurant. This was the most delicious tough meat and soggy pasta I have ever eaten.: by tk-tempany, Views[457]
         		 After seven days, I had reached civilisation again. This village of about 3000 people felt like Manhattan after so many days of solitude.: by tk-tempany, Views[440]
         		 A nice old lady that I met on the last day of the trek. She asked me for medicine. All I had was sunscreen. I put a bit on her hand which made her very happy.: by tk-tempany, Views[470]
         		 After they pulled me out, the girls moved on to the next animal that was sinking in distress, this time a horse. These girls saved me.: by tk-tempany, Views[387]
     
    I was walking through a valley that had recieved some heavy rain the night before. I stepped into this puddle, thinking it was only a few inches deep, and instantly sunk all the way up to my chest. It was extremely frightening as I was completely stuck. I yelled out to a couple of girls in the distance. They ran over and pulled me out. : by tk-tempany, Views[412]
         		 The first person I had seen or spoken to in 6 days was this farmer in a secluded valley. I think we freaked each other out a little bit, so I gave him a muesli bar in exchange for a photo, and we both happily parted ways. : by tk-tempany, Views[409]
         		 This is half way up the most challenging pass of the trek. Photos never accurately show the steepness of an incline, but this pass was brutally steep. : by tk-tempany, Views[406]
         		 A nice spot to collect some more drinking water.: by tk-tempany, Views[425]
         		 I sat in this spot for a couple of hours watching the clouds slowly dissapate, revealing the stunning peaks behind.: by tk-tempany, Views[412]
     
    Finally a clear day.: by tk-tempany, Views[339]
         		 Another magnificent camping spot. The solitude of the trek was incredible. Although I covered about 15kms a day, I didn't see or speak to another person for the first 6 days. The most obscure and annoying songs were stuck on repeat in my mind for most of the time. : by tk-tempany, Views[365]
         		 This is at the top of the same pass but looking over the other side into a wide valley. : by tk-tempany, Views[348]
         		 This is from the top of one of the more difficult passes of the trek. : by tk-tempany, Views[443]
         		 Another view from 5100m over a glacial lake .: by tk-tempany, Views[375]
     
    This is the highest point of the trek at 5100m, the highest I have ever been. Every step uphill at this altitude feels like you are carrying 100kgs on your back.: by tk-tempany, Views[511]
         		 This is Santa Cruz Norte.: by tk-tempany, Views[427]
         		 This is my camping spot on the second night. The most beautiful peak in the world, Alpamayo, is hiding behind the clouds in the centre of the picture. All night I could hear chunks of the glacier crashing down to the valley floor. : by tk-tempany, Views[473]
         		 The trek was just over 100km, and went over 5 passes of more than 4500m. Each day I walked through valleys and then over passes to valleys on the other side. It was brutally strenuous because of the altitude, but magnificent. : by tk-tempany, Views[396]
         		 Another view of Laguna Cullicocha.: by tk-tempany, Views[529]
     
    The trek was incredible. It passed through the most magnificent scenery I have ever seen. This was taken at Laguna Cullicocha with Nevado Santa Cruz (6241m) behind. : by tk-tempany, Views[505]
         		 Our return to Peru was for Tim to do a 7 day trek in the Cordilerra Blanca, an incredible mountain range in the Andes with over 30 peaks higher than 5,500m. This is the food he took for the 7 days.: by tk-tempany, Views[393]
         		 We recieved the first counterfeit note of our entire trip in Peru. Not sure if Dennis O'Riordan had anything to do with it.: by tk-tempany, Views[399]
         		 getting rescued by the firemen from being stuck in the elevator for half an hour: by travis_anderson, Views[216]
