Little road trip, along the ecuadorian coast of the state of Manabi. 3 hours of pot holes, winding roads, road side stalls of tropical fruit, and homemade goodies, changing scenery, and ktie surfing obssesed boys, which means only one things hours of classic tales. It was crazy there is this one part of the journey that is called the oasis, as it is the only area in the state that has furtile land for agriculture. Not that I have even been to asia but it felt like indo our china all these rice fields, and well it is all asian decendents [View Full Entry]

I was in my dorm room at around 7pm, when the bed started to rock i was thinking someone is getting lucky of the top bunk, until i saw the walls shaking as well then everyone was evacuated to the garden and into the crisp evening air of Cuzco. I felt sorry for the guys that we called out of the showers had to stand in towels for the 20mins until the tremors stopped. The next day I ended up getting a bus with the Marcelo and Carol to Lima. After reports on the news that the quake was 8.6 and [View Full Entry]

After booking about 3 different tours and being up 3 days in a row at 3am, I finally got to the sacred site of Machu Picchu. So we were picked up from the hostel then it was a bus ride then a train ride, i was asleep for most of them so times are unknown. I was awoken by a shake from a lovely Ecuadorian man, i think i may have been nodding off on his shoulder but he was too polite to say anything. So made friends with Marcelo, Carlos from Quito and Agata the spanish speaking polish chicha. What [View Full Entry]

Not knowing where anything is, having to ask about everything mmm not being the one with all the know how. I was so switched on to La Paz, I knew it.... Good news is I got my bus 8am Thursday morning, 3rd bus ticket latter mind you. I must stop talking to intriguing people so I find my way home to Australia and not keep thinking oh it would be grand to live [View Full Entry]

Lucky this was pointed out to me whilst I still have a few days left I my visa! I am sitting in this little internet cafe in a peruvian border town call Yunguyo. On the bank of Lake Titicaca.

This was so much fun!!!! I was a little sceptical as I had heard so much about this worlds most dangerous road... I´ve seen the scars, actually my 2nd day in South America I met an aussie Chick in Santiago who had just come from La Paz, and had no skin left on the whole the left side of her arm and leg, due to a fall on this road.. Although I can report it is a lot safer than 6 months ago, when the road served as the main transport in and out of La Paz for buses trucks cars [View Full Entry]
