Such is my boredom that after aimlessly wandering in the morning sunshine, picking up some essentials at the local shop and having...

Jump to the full entry & travel map Arequipa, Peru Finally, the slippery cobbles of Cusco have faded on the horizon and our cheap overnight double-decker has swerved and skidded its way into new territory. The night was long and sleepless, due in part to the antibiotics i am now religiously popping, and spent gazing through the curtains at the star-splattered sky and crumbling mountain roads...

Jump to the full entry & travel map Arequipa, Peru We arrived to Peru's second largest city by late afternoon, deciding to catch a day bus from Cuzco to soak in some of the rugged terrain scenery - somewhat wasted on Nic, suffering from a hangover, farewelling our English buddies the night before, further punished by an onslaight of horrendously loud and horrendously themed movies for 9hrs....

Jump to the full entry & travel map Arequipa, Peru Leaving Titicaca's picturesque but frigid shores to lower elevations in the hopes of warming my soul and alleviating my flu, I caught yet another nightbus from Puno, where I met a cool Australian woman. We parted ways in the morning, however, but talked about meeting up later on to see "Sex and the City" in poorly dubbed Spanish. Consulted Lonely...

Anyway I don´t think I am going to be writing too much about the trip, I will let...

Went white water rafting, something I've always wanted to do and boy was it fucking cool. We did from Grade 2 all the way up to Grade 4+ (that's pretty rapidy), stayed...
