Happy in Puno
J & H taking an exhilarating ride in a trike to the port in Puno for our first trip onto Lake Titicaca. See the next photo.

Hard work pedalling, especially going UP from the port to the Central Plaza.

Still in Colca
Such an uplifting valley

Locals selling their wares on the edge of a precipice.

Local transport
She really did not look too happy about being strapped half on to this ass, but it was probably safer than being in our van.

Local people
Later, I asked if it was OK to take her picture. I can't print her reply.

Local transport
On the other hand, this local was more than happy to pose.

Another animal that became a common sight in Peru -- and which we are missing where we are in Ecuador.

Road sign
I love how Australia has kangaroos and koalas on their roadsigns and Peru has llamas.

Jane equipped for anything
Looks like Shackleton.

Kids on Taquile
Taquile Island (not a floating island) on Lake Titicaca was like a Greek island of 50 years ago (yes, I remember!)

Serenaded while lunching

Hi Hilary and Jane. Lovely to hear about all your exciting adventures and see the gorgeous pics. Some really fantastic shots. I have returned from my own trip now and after only one month I was glad to come to an English speaking country !!! but I'm no trecker. So I am aware of the stresses and strains of travel brings and well as the glorious delights. I'm sure you know you are missing floods and storms at home. Anyway looking forward to seeing you lovely pair again. Love from Linde
