Yesterday I took a shower. Before that I went shopping. I briefly thought about going to the cinema, but I'm going to do that today. And after the shower I ate my snacks and...

After I lay down again, I went out again. The sun came out again. Looking back, it's a shame that I was so afraid of the rain while hiking. Of course the weather can always...

If you travel Peru, or South America, it's sort of given that you HAVE to do Machu Picchu... well, I can confirm. Located in the Andes near Cuzco at about 2430 m of altitude,...

Difficulties during the journey and first experiences in Peru.

We took the night bus from Puno to Cusco - quite a twisting hellride over hills and stones, where the bus driver seemed to be racing against someone. So we arrived all crumpled...

Cramped with too many other people and luggage in a minibus, the 300 kilometers to Lima were a struggle - no room to move. The journey takes about 5 hours. At least until the...
