The diesel is rationed cos its a third the price in Ecudor that it is in Peru Then driving through banana plantations, fells hot and humid. Heading to Cuenca at 2500meters. A really nice town and we got a good hotel - Im on a top bunk [View Full Entry]

Headed in a trip from Huaraz to the Pastouri Glacier Stopped at 3700 meters for sweet cocoa tea, took a paracetamol as a precaution to the altitude too Stopped to photo the Bromeliads which look like huge cacti, and only grow in a few areas round here Got to the carpark at 4900m it was snowing, very pretty. We then walked up to 5100m at the glacier base. Today we´re off camping at the beach for a few days I cant believe how well we are eating everywhere, much better than i expected. I had been trying to fatten myself up [View Full Entry]
