I was reading this post by Caz from yTravelblog this morning while having coffee before heading to another day of work and it made me smile as I was thrust back to some amazing moment I’ve had on my travels, especially some of the amazing places I’ve the pleasure of sleeping at. I’ve decided to … Continue reading »
I wanted to write to a general post on the trip to Peru and Miami however I’ve been inundated with work and other things I wanted to post about that I simply could not fit this one in until now.
Those of you following the Peru post will have a sense of deja vu every time you start, as its always the same story. I wake up early. Today was no different. Early wake-up call. Another breakfast of bread, jam and coffee (A full English would be awesome right now). We’re all back on the bus … Continue reading »
Its 5am. I’m not suppose to wake up for another two and a half hours. However the constant early mornings mean I can’t fall asleep again. So head down to the hotel lobby and spent the time I’m supposed to be sleeping on the internet. I’m joined in the lobby by someone who has just … Continue reading »
Another early day in Peru. Come to think about it, I’ve only slept past 7am once on this trip. I quietly pack my things and head out towards the plaza to catch a taxi to the bus station. The bus station (at 5:45am) is completely abuzz with people. Busses arriving and leaving. A few dreary … Continue reading »
“Ti-ri-ri-ri! Ti-ri-ri-ri-ri!”. It’s one of the few times I welcomed the sound of my alaram. It’s 4am and I get up and get dressed. I have breakfast and wait for my guide Hector to pick me up from the hotel. To say I’m excited is being very conservative. I’ve been waiting for this moment for ten … Continue reading »
I’m early again, as per usual on this trip. However spending the night in the laidback town of Ollantaytambo, I feel very refreshed (not that I was feeling tired). I’m ensure whether it’s the lower altitude or just me,but regardless I feel good today! I get ready and head downstairs for breakfast, where I’m the … Continue reading »
It’s another early wake up for me. I have to meet Armando early at the plaza where he will take me to where I catch the bus for the Sacred Valley Tour. The tour is a trip in and around the Sacred Valley of the Incas in a valley in the Andes of Peru, close … Continue reading »
15 October 2010 It’s a new day. Day five in Peru and my first full day in Cusco. I’ve decided to dedicate the day to Cusco. But first things, first. I’m to meet Armando in the plaza to discuss what I want to do over the next couple of days in the Cusco region and … Continue reading »
14 October 2010 I’m awake. Not woken by alarms or monkeys tugging mosquito nets but merely by the overwhelming noise coming from the forest. A cacophony of birds, monkeys, insects and, well, anything else that can produce sound is the closest I can get to when describing the noise coming in from the open wall … Continue reading »
13 October 2010 I wake up drowsy eyed feeling someone tugging my mosquito net. “I’m up”, is my jerk reaction phrase. I thought it was the guide who had come in and wake me up for the days activities. I look at my watch. Interesting. It’s only 2am. I lay in bed listening for any … Continue reading »
12 October 2010 It’s day two in Peru and I’m up early due to a combination of factors: Going to bed early the night before and the omnipresent jetlag. I pack up my things and go for breakfast. I’m joined by the Guadelupian duo and a Peruvian mother and son from Lima. They have just … Continue reading »
11 October 2010 I arrive in Lima International Airport brimming with excitement and it’s only 6am, given the hour, there’s very little I’d be excited about in normal circumstances, however, these aren’t normal circumstances. I’m in Peru! I’ve been dreaming about this trip for a long time and now it is finally happening.
