Lima: We stayed in part of the city called Miraflores which is modern and vibrant and a great place to relax, which is exactly what we needed to do after the Inka trail! Unfortunately I haven't much to say in this blog as we were both so exhausted we didn't do much but instead just ambled along stopping for occasional drinks in the fancy peer on the sea and sitting on the pebble beach watching the waves and surfers! Only a short stroll to the ocean from where we ...

Cusco and the Inka trail part 2: Awake at 6:45 for the first day hike we made our way by bus to the start of the trail. Our passports stamped with the Machu Picchu logo and date we set off for the first stage of our hike.

We also came across our first Inka ruin which made you more exc...

So very beautiful. 2) Witches Market: The Llama foetuses made this the most weirdest market I have ever seen. Being a culture vulture I find traditio...

Copacabana is a town nestled on the shores of the very large Lake Titicaca. The lake is coloured deep blue, clear and shimmers in the sunlight like diamonds. As Copacabana is only a small town, we was unsure if it would hold our attention for the five relaxing days that we planned to stay here before Peru and the Inca trail. This town has a great atmosphere and is brimming with locals and their Bolivian way of life. This is the kind of town where the locals go to...
