We arrived at 6am and walked for a kilometer to the Loki hostel, a renouned party hostel. Sadly, we could not check-in until 1pm so slept in the hammocks in the hostel until we could. The afternoon was spent either playing pool or table tennis. In the evening we got to know some Swiss girls who were in a our room and met some Swedish and Icelandic girls who we invited to play drinking games with us. We were all drunk rather rapidly and after the bar had closed we...

Jonathan, Luke and I arrived in trujillo at 6am. Our bus journey was awesome because we went with Cruz Del Sur, who are the premium bus company in Peru. It meant we had dinner, our own TV with a choice of movies or games etc... as well as Wifi, blankets and free headphones! Having been assaulted by taxi drivers upon arrival we found somewhere for some breakfast and booked a bus ticket for that evening to Mancora because the tourist attractions do not open until ...

We arrived in Lima around 5.15pm and the most dissapointing evening of my life commenced. We went straight to the restaurant where we had arranged to meet Bryony and Catherine at 6pm.

After we had eaten our food, and drank our cocktail with no sign of the girls it was clear they were not turning up. After we headed to the hostel to collect our bags, and we assumed ...

We arrived in the sweltering heat of Iquitos just after lunchtime and took a mototaxi (tuk-tuk to the rest of the world) to the Flying Dog hostel on the waterfront. We soon booked our Amazon adventure for the next day and went for a rather awkward beer with the mototaxi driver. Despite the language barrier between Luke, the taxi driver and I we forced our way through 2 beers between us as Luke and I were video recorded on the drivers phone to show his son! To tr...

The journey to Lima was very interesting. It was meant to be a 5 hr journey and took 5 and a half hours - very good by South American standards, but it felt like it lasted forever! Our driver also turned out to be a nutcase. At one point our 67 seater bus was stuck going down a one way street - the wrong way! The answer was rather than to reverse to force all the traffic going the right way to divert instead! In Lima we checked into a hostel in Baranco, a smarter...
