Happy Birthday to sister Lizzy. 🙂 This morning, while we had hotel wifi, I logged into YouTube to see what was happening in Barcelona and the yacht racing. Breakfast was another lavish spread of options. It really is an excellent hotel. Staff are friendly and courteous and the facilities are…
The best thing about Abancay, was my sleep, and leaving the town…:) Oh! and there was hot water in the shower. They say if you don’t have anything good to say about a place, then you shouldn’t say it. So I will mainly comply with convention, and won’t say it.…
Last night Jen said, “will we fly the Lines tomorrow”? Mmmm…”what about the cost”? No response, she just did it. To hell with the expense…:) Love the attitude. Despite the quiet location, once all the local punters went home around 7pm, it wasn’t a great nights sleep. Jen has been…
Again, I think we were the only guests in a 12 story hotel!! Everything was very adequate. The parking section was covered for Poki, and cavernous. Leaving Lima, it occurred to me that we were hardly qualified to make judgement on the city. It’s a vast place and there are…
Not much to report for the day. A 15min walk to a shopping precinct. Not the big glitzy supermarket, but lots of Ma & Pa shops selling most things, between them. We have had trouble finding a gas BBQ lighter. No longer. We now have one, plus an aerosol can…
An unusually early rising this morning. Up by 6.30am and on the road by by 9.30am. A bee or wasp must have come in the window while driving on Sunday. I felt a sharp sting on my thigh. Within half an hour there was a raised point where the sting…
Jeez I had the best sleep last night. Woke at 4am but then crashed again till 7am. Thought you needed to know that…:) I watched some of the last Springbok v All Blacks game on YouTube this morning before Jen decided we needed to head for a museum, nearby. What…
Up bright and early and after breakfast in Poki, we were on the road by 11am…:) Catacocha is at at 1900m and already Lucy (our inflatable lamp) is looking flaccid..:) At 3000m she’s about to burst. Colour is returning to the flowers and vegetation. The road to the border is…
A day of rest. A great nights sleep in a comfortable bed and not a dog heard. by the time we surfaced at around 8.30am, the kitchen was a hive of activity. Paul and Pam make a range of breads, bagels, crisps and other products for a non profit charity,…
We checked into a hotel last night as there are no camping grounds in the area. Also, the weather was not looking great. I was looking for a good night’s sleep. It didn’t happen, the good nights sleep. I was so tired that after Jen cooked a great meal for…
