After arriving at the most uncomfortable hostel, I made my way to look for another one where I moved to immediately the next day. I only had about 5 days to spend in Ecuador and did very much like what I saw of it. Quito is a beautiful city surrounded by hills and the old city with its lovely old churches and houses was great to visit. I also went to the Otavalo Market, the biggest saturday market about 2h bus drive from quito. Even after 3month I still was not f...

After the experiences in Cusco, I went back alone (Lisi left me because she went to Columbia to meet with her boyfriend) to Arequipa were I only stayed 1night and then made my way to Nazca. That was my last (thank god!) overnight bus journey of 10 hours but I travelled luxurious in a cama (=bed), cost me more but was worth it! In Nazca I overflew the famous Nazca lines with a Cessna - the advise not to have breakfast before that was the best I ever got, I felt qu...

After Bolivia, we went to Arequipa in Peru which is really nice, although people say it is dangerous, we have not discovered any of that in the 5days we stayed there... We were really glad to be back with "normal" people as the Bolivians got a little exhausting at the end and also the food is much better here in Peru! We decided to do a 2days trip into the Colca Canyon which got recommended to me by numerous of people. It was a great experience as there...

We spent about 4 days in La Paz. It is quite a nice city for being the capital of Bolivia, although very stressful and exhausting. Unfortunately, our room in the hostel was very noisy, the whole in the window facing the streetside did not help! We also noticed a lot of old people begging on the streets which made us feel quite miserable. One day we wanted to visit a nearby Canon, do some hiking there and we got the advise to take a guide as it is/was not very saf...

In Potosi we met Annie from Bristol who is doing some voluntary work in Santa Cruz and was also on the way to Sucre. We shared a taxi which took about 2.5h and drove through amazingly beautiful Bolivian landscape. Sucre is well known for its "white washed" houses which you can cleary see as soon as you enter the city centre. Sucre is only at 2.500m, so nice and relaxing for us after 4.000m in Potosi. The hostel we found was average but very ce...
