caffeine fuelled travel
Travelling has given me the feet of a 90 year old. They are disgusting, no offence to any 90 year olds out there.
Actually you probably do have nicer feet than me because you keep them all cosy and soft in your slippers. Mine on the other hand are not cosy in the slightest…
As you are sat reading this post I should be travelling from Arequipa in Peru to Puno, the city next to Lake Titicaca. As I will be on a South American bus for five hours (this feels like NOTHING after doing a 20 hour journey) I thought I would post a blog about South American buses…
Be prepared for failure…
This is where my blog a day is going to fail. Tomorrow I’m leaving Arequipa and I’m going to Puno (5 hours away not overnight GET IN)…
Well, some crazy guy in the main plaza (Arequipa, Peru) just filmed me and Tom on his video camera REALLY OBVIOUSLY. When we noticed (as he was right in front of us) he just nodded and walked away, the mentalist. This really reminded me of living in Taiwan and having my photo taken a lot by strangers because I was a foreigner…
Well this countdown malarkey is going fast…since I’ve been paying attention to it anyway! 95 days!! Argh!!
Anyway…
In Peru a lot of the buildings are only one storey high, so for security Peruvians put a dog on the roof and LEAVE IT THERE 24/7!
The roof dog is their security guard. I don’t know why they can’t use barbed wire, broken glass…..
We’ve finally made the decision that Saturday will be the day we finally leave Arequipa. Ooooh it’s going to be hard to leave this warm weather and super chilled out city BUT we must move on. It’s also going to be painfully hard to leave this cosy hostel…
Last night myself and Tom got stood up! Ooh, the embarrassment!
We had arranged to go out for a drink with a couple we’d met in the Colca Canyon and they never turned up! Booo!
It’s not like we didn’t know them at all, we’d hung out in the canyon for a couple of days. Basically we’d ended up staying at the same place in San Juan ..
I really don’t like the fact that we only have 14 weeks left of our South American trip. GAAAH PAIN 😦 Oh well, it’s the reason behind this blog now, so I’m going to live with the countdown everyday, drip, drip, drip…
OUCH – Elbow pain………Oh the embarrassment, yesterday I fell out of a hammock IN FRONT OF PEOPLE…
I’ve come to realise that I only have 14 WEEKS remaining of my South American adventure……that’s 98 DAYS 😦
After being in this hot/cold/mountainous/chaotic/thrilling/tasty/goosebumpingly great continent since the beginning of February, realising I have only 98 days left is pretty sad. For quite a while I had no end date, no flight to the homeland booked,I was thinking it was never going to end…
