Today will be my last entry for Peru! :( We woke at 6.30 and enjoyed some lovely pancakes and strawberry jam for breakfast with our family. We said out thank yous and goodbyes and took a photograph to remember them by. Fransica then walked up down to the dock which was a great deal easier without the fruit (and it was downhill). The rain in the night had caused some mini land slides so the part had part galled into the stream. After saying goodbye in Quechua...

We didn't get any sleep as the festivities were going throughout the night - drums, brass bands and fireworks. :( I took an early walk around the main plaza to take some photos of the carnival. We then took cycle taxis down to the dock and a 1 hour boat ride to the reed islands on Lake Titicaca. The one we stopped on was called 'La Isla Los Uros Tata Inti'. We were greeted with a song, a handshake and a kiss. I couldn't believe how squishy the floor of the r...

We woke at 6 and packed for our bus at 8am to Puno...a 7 hour bus with no stops :( And a lot of Peruvian music! We arrived at 3.30 and at 4 Hernan showed us the main plaza and enjoyed a late 3 course lunch for 15 soles. Garth was feeling tired so went back to the hotel whilst I went to buy fruit for our families on Lake Titicaca tomorrow. There was a miscommunication between the fruit lady and Grant. But I finally got done stamps for my postcards. An early nig...

An early start, we left the amazon on the canoe. The combination of going UP stream and the rain had washed lots of trees into the river, so avoiding the massive logs look over 2 hours. We had a half an hour wait in the town so we looked at a local market where it absolutely hammered down with rain! We arrived at the airport to find our flight was delayed 3 hrs. So a few card games and chapters later we got the flight. This was our 6th flight this year! We we...

We were woken at 6 am after a rather pleasant nights sleep. After a fruit and pancake breakfast we began our 5 hour trek through the amazon jungle. We saw lots of different plants like 400 year old trees, fruit that tasted sweet when we sucked it and even walking trees! We saw lots of animals including more monkeys, 2 cm black ants and even a tarantula! we saw lots of footprints of a jaguar as well! We heard Howler Monkey from approx 1km away which was crazy! ...
