Bill's Big Trip "Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do, nothing to kill or die for. Imagine all the people living life in peace. Imagine all the people sharing all the world. I hope someday you'll join us and the world will live as one." John Lennon

Ecuador to Cusco Peru

PERU | Monday, 23 June 2014 | Views [294]

I left Ecuador and headed for Cusco Peru by bus. Two all night bus trips got me as far as Lima Peru. I thought I was fairly close to Cusco, but when I asked at the bus station they said it was another 20 to 22 hours by bus. I headed for the airport. Cusco is a very nice town that sits over 11000 feet above sea level. Easy to get out of breath, especially when climbing the hills. My arrival coincided with the Corpus Christi Festival. These folks know how to party, lots of bands, food, parade, floats, fireworks and a massive amount of beer drinking. See pictures.

A quick recap. I visited 19 countries in 212 days, traveled 46,000 miles by air,15,000 miles by land and spent about $25,000. My feet got beat up a few times and I twisted my ankle a couple of times.  No plane, train, car, bus, tuk tuk or taxi mishaps, not even a fender bender. I wasn't threatened or harassed and amazingly enough I didn't lose anything. It's hard to believe seven months have passed. As I said in my first entry.....a wonderful way to celebrate 60 years of living. It sure was!
