Peru:
Touts: shudder
Machu Picchu: Tourist meca that it is... what an amazing site.
Gringo Trail: Ever so well defined it is both a blessing and an encomberance
Desert: Not exactly how we pictured so much of Peru, but it makes up almost the entire coastline.
Lomo Saltado: Just add some cheese curds and it could be a really wicked poutine
Markets: Your best bet for cheap eats and always iffy on the hygene.
Weavings and Knittings: Amazing quality, design and colour
Shoeshine Kids: Doesn´t matter if you are wearing sandals, they still think they can shine them
Buses: Not quite as easy to pick up as Ecuador, but we are talking longer hauls now, and from seat, to semi cama to cama, they vary widely.
Sopa: So much better in the north, and how does it always vary so widely?
Bolivia:
Roads: Did we drive on paved roads?? We did, but from river beds to one lane dirt switched back horrors, it is always a gamble.
¨Jeeps¨: aka Toyota Land Cruiser... always of variable health and always stuffed with as many people as they can fit in.
Gringo Trail: We thought it was would be less so in Bolvia, but as it turns out there are a few less people in Bolivia, so you end up seeing people and recognising them even more...
Amazon: We just touched the very tip of it... from fire ants to tarantulas we would love to go back
Rurre: Tranquillo
La Paz Witches Market: You just can´t forget the smell of dried llama fetuses
Empanadas and Salteñas: So cheap, so good... how can something so small make you so sick for so long
South-Western Bolivia: Dirt roads, poverty, small rambleshackle towns, but blessed with amazing mineral and windswept scenery.
Dynamite: Just over 1 USD for a stick... and you can blow it up in that hill over there..
Bolivian Time: Like Peruvian and Ecuadorian time, except 30minutes later.
Pink Toilet Paper: No idea why, but it was bright pink!
