A Ruinous Time

Monday 27th June 2016 – I took the bus to Chachapoyas. This wouldn’t be of any note – I take the bus everywhere, and it’s probably one of my less original ways to start an entry – but for three reasons. One – I don’t think I mentioned last time…

Riding a Wave of History

Monday 20th June 2016 – Sun! Fucking finally, a bit of the yellow stuff. Been missing this for a while – since the start of January, really – the ability to wear shorts and flip flops 24/7, and probably still make it for a business meeting. My god it’s good…

‘Don’t Play With Your Food!’

Saturday 11th June 2016 – I stayed in Cusco before I left, and was treated once more to a chance meeting. Shira and Danya had just arrived from their time in Bolivia, so we met up for dinner after we’d sorted out where we were going to eat. I think…

Wednesday 08th June 2016 – It was a surprise to see Francois again – he just turned up at the hostel. When we’d tipped Willie, we’d been so tired that we’d mixed up who’d paid what, and I’d ended up paying all of it. I hadn’t even realised, but Francois…

Choq Full of Ruins

Ok, ok the blog is getting a bit behind. Unusual, I know for me to be so lacking in punctuality, but unfortunately it’s going to take a bit to get back on track again. You see, I’ve found myself some rather incredibly cheap flight to the Galapagos islands (which is…

Pissed in Peru

Saturday 14th May 2016 – I set sail with new friends across the border to Peru. By set sail, I actually mean used the ever present South American bus, and by new friends I neglect to mention that Enrico was still there, till Puno at least, anyway. Nevertheless, the point…
