ok so left la paz a good few days ago now. had a good session in the hostel before i left though. a rival hostel from cusco challenged us to beat 202 gliders (a sgot made of vodka, kaluha and baileys) in one night. so 16 of us settled in and got to business at about 7pm. 425 shots later we safely claimed the crown i would say! top night out!! anyway so from la paz went to uyuni to do the tour of the slat flats on a 3 day/2 night jeep safari. such an amazing plave. 12 square km [View Full Entry]

ok so had my final day of the trek quite a while ago now. macchu picchu is an amazing place, it cant really be decribed. had a hard 6 hours slog around there anyway. turned up at about 6 and did the guided tour then had a few hours to explore. there are a few treks you can do to get some great views of macchu picchu and the one i did first was to climb the nearby mountain waynapicchu. because i wanted to get around to see a lot more i managed to completely obliterate the suggested time it takes [View Full Entry]

so been in cusco for a while now....well in fact i´m on my trek t the moment but as it happens there is an internet cafe near some ancient incan ruins...obviously. or maybe they were more advanced than anyone ever believed! carrying on from the last entry i guess the first thing is the 19 hour coach ride. suprisingly not too bad at all. as expected i slept for most of it and the rest of the time there were films on anyway. getting hostel in cusco was no problem and its a pretty cool place. nice and friendly and sociable.

Just got back to Lima after a crazy week in mancora. That place brings out the party in you. not sure i have hit it that hard for a week, including a nice 24hour session. but then there isnt much else to do there apart from party and lay on the beach...sounds hellish eh!! the night out on friday was insane. all the bars closed up at about 3 so everyone just moved into the street and some random shop started pounding out music. there were still loads of kiosks open where you buy beer so that wasn't a problem. people [View Full Entry]

Travelled up the coast from Lima to Mancora the other day. Its a pretty small place, just a beach town with a few bars to party in. Met plenty more people to get out on the lash with! The place is one of the surfing hotspots in Peru so I´m thinking about renting a board and having a crack later today, i´m here for a while so i should be able to polish up the skills a bit! Other than that its damn hot so always the oppertunity to soak up some rays with a cold beer! [View Full Entry]
