Friday was our last day in this amazing country- we saw so much, yet there is so much more to see.  We had heard about Barranco- the hippie, artsy area of Lima.  After a morning of packing, a late breakfast and finally checking out; we hailed a cab and took the 30 minute drive from…

Thursday Danica was not feeling well and I was not much better. So the girls chilled at the apartment, I took all the medicine I could and Frank and I took off in cab to downtown Lima to see the colonial buildings and museums. We passed on the church- having been in so many European…

Wednesday we hung round in Paracas until 2pm when our bus was due to depart. We started the long journey back about an hour late, there was flooding inland that had caused the delay.  You would never know there are severe flooding issues in Peru at the time we were there- the entire country was…

After a good nights sleep we were up at 5:30am for our 6:15 departure to the bus depot. We had a quick buffet breakfast at the hotel and then Sarah was there to pick us up and head to the bus. We arrived to a very busy bus station- so many people about! Thank heavens…

Sunday morning we were up and packing as we had to leave at 8:30am.  Our last jungle breakfast did not disappoint. We left our gum boots on the rack and we were off to the boat for the 2 hour journey back to Puerto Moldinado. The river ride was beautiful and peaceful and then we…

We were up early- for a 5:30 departure. We left the lodge and went up river fifteen minutes in order to observe the activity of the macaws, parrots and parakeets feeding on the earth. La Torre Clay Lick is a mud bank about four meters high and twenty meters wide criss crossed with veins of…

Friday morning we awoke to the ongoing rain that had started in the middle of the night- the rain had just started pummelling down in the night and it was a little light this morning – but still raining.  We headed up to breakfast- eggs, cereal, pancakes and fruit. Victor told us we were going…

Thursday and a 7:45am pick up for the airport.  We checked our bags headed to the gate ready for our 9:55 departure – after a little wait it seemed there was a delay with the flight- we weren’t sure what or how long- but an on time departure was not in the cards.  Then 20…

Wednesday we were up at 4:30am, the rain was pouring down and we were doubtful there would be a sunrise to see! We packed our bags- even though we had an 11am checkout we weren’t going to take a chance that we would be late and have to rush back. After eating a quick breakfast…
