Peru Update

Check out the photos
Ive not uploaded many yet, partly because theres not many good ones and partly because it would take a while.

Currently in Puno, on Lake Titicaca. Going on a boat trip to the nearby islands tomorrow, and staying on one overnight.

So far weve visted Arequipa, Hauchachina near Ica, Pisco and Lima. The plan for the next few days is to try to cross into bolivia via the north side of the lake.. the more challenging route.

We visited the Ballestas islands from Pisco, went sandboarding and camped in the desert from Hauchachina, a desert lagoon. Unfortunately, my ankle is hurting so we havent been able to walk anywhere and so had to miss the colca canyon near arequipa and come straight to puno instead. The altitude here is 3800m and you can feel it, have been drinking lots of coca tea and taking a couple of pills to try to overcome the headache. Today we walked round some funeral towers nearby and found it very difficult to walk anywhere, not sore, just impossible to do.


Sorry about the terrible punctuation, I cant work this keyboard. This blog is also a bit random as Im just writing as things pop into my head.

  1. Maybe the sandboarding did in your ankle

  2. According to Stanford Medical, It is in fact the SINGLE reason this country's women live 10 years longer and weigh on average 19 kilos less than us.

    (And really, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret exercise and really, EVERYTHING around "HOW" they are eating.)

    P.S, I said "HOW", not "WHAT"...
