I am at the moment back in Cusco, visiting a friend... Had quite a few hilarious (but fairly disturbing!) incidents in the last few days mostly involving dodgy Cusceñan men! The first night that I arrived here, I went out dancing by myself and had ... Read more >

BOLIVIA | Wednesday, 6 Sep 2006 | Views [3470]

Well, on Sunday I took the plunge and mountain biked down the "Most Dangerous Road in the World". After riding down it on a bike at break neck speed, I can tell you for sure that it is no exageration. The 44km stretch of road between La Paz ... Read more >

The Border Crossing - The Sequel

BOLIVIA | Wednesday, 6 Sep 2006 | Views [1404]

I did my second border crossing into Bolivia from Puno on Friday 1/9 which, although went better than the first one, still left me feeling very very grumpy, angry bear! Firstly, I was hung over and suffering from a serious lack of sleep. In the altitude ... Read more >

Puno and lake Titicaca

PERU | Wednesday, 6 Sep 2006 | Views [1787]

The Peruvian Titicaca lake-side town of Puno which I spent a few days in was really very charming and a culturally fascinating place to visit. When I arrived in the cold late afternoon to the town, I have to say that I was not all that impressed with ... Read more >
