Wow. Cusco Cathedral looks amazing, your night-shots of it are beautiful. Such a shame you couldn't take photos inside.
You're so lucky getting to tour all those exciting sites!
The dinner looks exceedingly yellow, I'm glad to hear it tasted better than it looks :D
Yay! Photographs!
That's so weird showing the pyramid in the centre of Lima and in the background right next to it is all the skyscrapers. And once again you've taken such beautiful photos of all the architecture :D
I like the bull sculptures, they remind me of pinata.
Hurrah for your timing, that was lucky with the rain! And such alot of steps to go up! *phew* Glad you survived that!
Hurray for Mexican food :D
Hope you had a safe flight to Puerto Maldonado!
Oooh. It'll be fascinating to see your hummingbird photos, only ever seen them in nature documentaries. Were they noisy to be near?
Hope you managed to get some rainy day specials.
Oooh, really can't wait to see your photos of Machu Picchu, the places you visited sound fascinating. Photos from pisco hour sound like they may be good too!
Hope the buses are running so you get to explore more of Machu Picchu and take more of your fantastic photos!
Awwww, I wonder how Calvin would have responded to having an Alpaca as a brother?
Hurrah for going up lots of steps! You must have got some fantastic views from up there.
Bizarre to think that once the villages surrounded holy places and now surround football pitches.
Hahaha. Wondered how long it would be before your toilet obsession resurfaced :D
Sounds very tiring having to deal with all the sellers, maybe if you walked away for long enough saying no you'd eventually be offered the entirety of Peru for free?
Having vegetarian food does sound like the sensible choice. :D
Doesn't sound like the best hotel ever for getting a night's sleep.
Hi! I´m just with two other people, but all of our tours have been through Condor Travel, who seem to be leading most of the tour groups in Peru. You might want to check with them and maybe they can look up his name and see where he is? They have a website (www.condortravel.com). Hope you find him!
Were the guinea-pigs being eaten in fancy dress? You have to try it now! I mean, if it's good enough for Christ. . .
Sounds like you're getting to see some right sights, cannot wait to see your photos. Like the description of Puco Pucaro, everywhere I go invariably ends up mainly being stairs.
That's funny you were thinking about how much like Atlantic City it was and then the 'Atlantic City' casino pops up :D
Sounds like a bargain place for eating! Possibly because you're unlikely to keep it zooming around in the traffic! I'd definitely stick to buses, they're sturdier.
Yay! Hahaha, could have been exciting ending up on someone else's holiday at random if you chose the wrong tour company! Thank goodness he did recognise you.
Certainly an exciting start to the holiday having a daredevil taxi ride!
Just Wondering... One of my friends just left for a Peru trip a few days ago. And i'm unsure of how to get in contact with him. He doesn't even have a blog or anything letting people know what he does all day. And I don't even think he's touched a computer.
So I was wondering how many people are with you in the group you're in, and what they're names are? (In hopes that atleast reading what you do all day will give me a vibe of what he's doing...) He's traveling by himself though, if that narrows it down for you.
Wow! For once your food didn't make me hungry! You're a braver person than me for trying the jambalaya. St Louis cathedral looks gorgeous and the tombs in Cemtery #1 look curiously lived in. So sad your adventures and the blog had to come to an end!
Is that powdered sugar on the beignets? That must certainly have got you awake and full of energy for the day! Is is just me, or did you think the French Quarter looked less French than the Spanish areas you've visited looked Spanish (Does that make sense?) The Quesadilla looked tasty and I liked the brick fireplace in Laffite's Blacksmith Shop.
ohhh, those photos of Lafayette #1 are beautiful, that's one of the places on my list.
Hahahaha, like the reasoning on losing the money gambling :D
The hotel room looks cool with the brick wall, and more tasty food. mmm.
And I love that picture of the church with the shadow cast upon it, that's amazing.
Oooh, did you go in Marie Laveau's, that looks an exceedingly exciting store.
I love the pictures of Bourbon Street all lit up by the neon signs, they're great.
And well done for managing to leave the casino while ahead, I'm glad you went back though, it'd have been far too grown up to leave with a complete profit :D
Wow, that looks like the kind of beach you never see in real life. The museum looks fantastic with all the different aircraft at all different angles all around you!
Final Entry We've enjoyed following along with your journey. You never got your alligator. Actually, it probably tastes a lot like crocodile, which isn't too bad. Perhaps your next visit... call us when you land.
Wow! That's a massive McDonalds, and a massive looking tasty waffle.
You're certainly getting to see some glorious buildings on your travels.
Is it the Liberty Bell that has a massive crack in it? Or am I getting my famous bells confused.
The children's statues look the kind that would dance on an evening when no-one was watching before returning to their place.
The original courthouse certainly does look the more impressive a building, why would they ever choose to move to a different building?
Hurrah for pictures of squirrels, I love squirrels. And hurrah for desserts, it looks scrummy. Yumyumyum.
When I was 8 years old, I went to summer camp for the first time. Whereas other kids were getting homesick as soon as they got there, I instead got sick the day I had to go home again. The travel bug caught me early and has lingered ever since. I LOVE to see new places, experience new cultures, eat new food... life is so short and there are so many places to see! I hope that this blog will be filled with many adventures to come. Next stop... France, Belgium, and the Netherlands!... full info
