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...

On the 19th we took the bus to Guayaquil (a good 4 hours). We spent one night here because we flew on to Lima in Peru on the 20th. The flight to Lima was pretty relaxed. This...

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...

Last weekend I had the opportunity to participate in a training for psychologists and coaches on the ONG 'Las Semillas de Santa Teresa', for which I work here in Peru. As...

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...

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...

Yes, I'm in Peru now. Of course, I flew into Lima and the city gave me the chance to rest for a couple of days to recharge my batteries. Not that I want to complain, but...
