Sucre I left Cochabamba and after a 10 hour bus ride arrived in Sucre. It was easy to see straight away why this is where the government sits. It is a beautiful town, a little more modern and still looks quite colonial. The bus ... Read more >

had enjoyed Mancora but it was time to move on. Our next stop was a town called Trujillo and involved another overnight bus. I slept pretty much all of the way, waking up just as we arrived. It was about 6am and we were leaving for Huaraz that night ... Read more >

I was sad to leave Ecuador, I had far preferred it to Peru to date. The scenery was something else, the country just seems a little more advanced and the people happier. We had heard horror stories about the border crossing from Ecuador into Peru and ... Read more >

The train to Chang Mai was the most interesting I have been on. There were no sleeping compartments and all the beds are along the sides of the compartments so in fact you are sharing a compartment with everyone. You have your own curtain to close ... Read more >
