Quito, the capital of Ecuador, is 2850m high and sits at the foot of the Pichincha volcano, which last erupted in 1999. The city is known as the monastery of Ecuador due to its...

Street Food Tour

After a day's layover in Madrid (missed connecting flight), we finally arrived in Lima! With the cool, humid climate that characterizes Lima in winter, we are shivering. The...

Phew, luckily I only checked the flight time at the airport in Zurich 😅 1.5 hours to Amsterdam and then another 12 hours to Lima with KLM. Since I had an aisle seat, I stood...

After arriving in Lima, we check into the hotel and leave our luggage there before heading off to breakfast in Barranco - one of the younger and hipper districts of the city,...

I drank two more beers in the bar and then moved on. Unfortunately it was a weekday and the other bars were also very empty. But it could also be because it was 9 p.m. Maybe. it...

I wrote to Jeff about the meeting and he actually said 7 p.m., but he asked if we would meet in half an hour. I actually just wanted to go home and take a shower, but this suits...

So I didn't go down for breakfast until around 8 a.m. because I slept a little longer. Breakfast was good, but I find it negative that cake and melon are not refilled 1.5 hours...

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...

So first of all, I'm knocked out. I'm just sitting in the park taking a break from my run. I just felt like I walked three kilometers home, changed briefly and then got out. The...

I slept really well, but I can't turn off the air conditioning. And it makes very loud noises, so I'm afraid it'll fall down at any moment. Ice crystals also come out every now...

The flight was delayed by half an hour. I had checked in my suitcase along with my backpack and only had a small bag with me. That's why I'm the very last one on the plane. It's...

Since some people are wondering what's wrong with us, a quick sign of life :) Adios Perú

I waited at the hotel for my transport. It was supposed to come between 2:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. and when he wasn't there at 3:02 p.m. I got a little nervous, although in Peru that...

Was awake relatively early. I actually planned to walk to Barrancas today, a district right nearby. But after I walked to the harbor and chilled out there for a bit, I decided...

I decided not to walk back. I had chosen a bus connection and if it doesn't run or doesn't work, I take a taxi. Was so broken. But a bus actually came, although this is the kind...

So I was really knocked out by the trip, but I was happy that I was still able to fly despite the delay. I didn't get a great introduction, but I didn't have to do much either....

Today I slept a little longer. You actually wanted to jog before the food tour, but I made myself a relaxing tea at 7 a.m. and then booked a bus tour to 6 places. Then I got...

January 31, 2024 sea day Today, as an exception, we left the harbor in the morning, but too early to be able to go ashore in Lima again. So I attended the lecture about...

After the pool I lay down in the sun for a while. There are mostly older people in the hotel and the staff is really friendly. Then I went to the weight room and did a little...

I was in bed early and woke up early. Unfortunately it was really humid. The air conditioning does not work. Maybe. I asked today, but unfortunately there was nothing there when...

Then I went out and after 5 minutes realized that I had forgotten my wallet. Then I went back again and of course panicked that they had already broken in and taken everything,...

At 3 p.m. I was finally able to go to my room. When I arrived there were still other guests arriving, but the staff was still friendly. And the room is also really nice: there...

I had read on the internet that there were remains of an ancient pyramid to visit. And since this was recommended to me at the hotel and I still had time to check in, I walked...

After the bus luckily stopped exactly at my hotel (the bus stop is simply named after my hotel), I briefly dropped off my suitcase. The staff was very friendly, there is a...

Reunited in Lima :) What's there to say about this city: We visited a cool archeology museum, which was unfortunately under renovation and we couldn't look at some of it...

Lissi here we come - finally the time has come. Despite the announced traffic chaos, we made it to the airport on time - who would have thought?! :D There were minor problems...

Day 9 The evening before we recklessly booked a bike tour - now you ask yourself - recklessly, why? Well, it wasn't because we were unsportsmanlike. On the way to the meeting...

That's it - now it's time to close the Central and South America chapter and get ready for the next chapter. A feeling that cannot be put into words. But before I try, here's a...

In Lima, we will stay in an Airbnb for one week on the border between the two trendy neighborhoods of Lima: Miraflores and Barranco. From now on, we have to hit the books every...
