Day 17 (7-21): Chile San Pedro de Atacama

CHILE | Wednesday, 21 Jul 2010 | Views [228]

- I hated this gal who is the most inconsiderate person in the world. She would sit in front of the computer (the ONLY computer) at the hostel for hours with no intention of getting up. Whenever I wanted to use the computer, she would be there .. already.... Read more >

CHILE | Tuesday, 20 Jul 2010 | Views [649]

- For the second time, the bus conductor asked for our passports at the beginning of our bus trip. I knew Geminis is a reputable company, and with the previous experience, I was not as freaked out, but the fact that I had to part with my passport made ... Read more >

CHILE | Monday, 19 Jul 2010 | Views [265]

CHILE | Sunday, 18 Jul 2010 | Views [273]

- If all went well, should be in Chile by end of day. - Arrived at Tacna, Peru after a 7 hr bus ride. In the past, I fell asleep the moment I sat in a bus. B ut for some reason, during the entire trip, I found it hard to sleep on my bus rides whether ... Read more >

Day 13 (7-17): Peru Arequipa

PERU | Saturday, 17 Jul 2010 | Views [235]

- Woke up at 5 am to catch the 6 am bus to Aplao. Shit - think I am catching a cold. Weighing the pros and cons, decided to get more sleep and rest and take the day slow. It´s a pity that Toro Muerto Petroglyphs is not happening. - Started my day ... Read more >


Day 12 (7-16): Peru Arequipa

PERU | Friday, 16 Jul 2010 | Views [449]

- Woke up at 7:30 am again and had a nice hot shower. Two things I really liked about the hostel were (1) When they said they have hot water, they meant it. One thing to keep in mind though is that there is a certain daily quota of hot water in each ... Read more >


Day 11 (7-15): Peru Arequipa (Colca Canyon)

PERU | Thursday, 15 Jul 2010 | Views [445]

- It was a chilly chilly night. The bungalows looked amazing, but winds were seeping through the huge gaps between the bamboo stickes, plus the door doesn´t really close. Again I got up at 4:30 am. I guess I just have this biological clock instilled ... Read more >

Day 10 (7-14): Peru Arequipa (Colca Canyon)

PERU | Wednesday, 14 Jul 2010 | Views [300]

- Thinking it would be freezing at night, I wore the fleece, the windstopper and wrapped myself in the blankets like a mummy. Turned out it was pretty warm, and I woke up during the night to take off my jacket. Sweet! - Woke up at 6 am without an ... Read more >


Day 9 (7-13): Peru Arequipa (Colca Canyon)

PERU | Tuesday, 13 Jul 2010 | Views [216]

- Found out that my alarm clock was not working. Dared not sleep in case I could not wake up for the pick-up. Two other gals (Faye and Teresa) at my hostel were doing the Colca Canyon hike the same morning, but a 2d/1n trek with a different company.... Read more >


Day 8 (7-12): Peru Arequipa

PERU | Monday, 12 Jul 2010 | Views [285]

Day 7 (7-11): Peru Arequipa

PERU | Sunday, 11 Jul 2010 | Views [256]

- Arrived at Arequipa at 7:30 am and checked into Posada del Parque Hostel. Posada del Parque was recommended by Walk On Inn, so I did not bother to do any research. They let me check in right away, and they have internet access, which were huge bonuses.... Read more >


Day 6 (7-10): Peru Nazca

PERU | Saturday, 10 Jul 2010 | Views [266]

- Another early morning. Woke up at 8 am and after much back and forth, I decided against the Nazca flight. As cool as it is, USD 70 for a 30-minute helicopter flight is just too expensive, even for the world-famous Nazca Lines. Same deal for Victoria ... Read more >

- Arrived at Nazca at 10:30 am, and took a cab to the hostel (Walk on Inn). This was one of the hostels recommended by fellow travellers on Lonely Planet Forum and the only hostel which replied to my email. So made a reservation before I left Lima ... Read more >
