Unblue

I hope and pray this is a spoof. However, we’ll be binning the music and using the suggestions in this video instead for our Windows 7 party:

What is it with the city and the pouting-prostitute look? One girl (bless her) had a split so far up the back of her skirt that her thong was showing – I can’t imagine how that paints a good professional picture (unless of course she’s that kind of pro).

Floating Uros Islands of Lake Titicaca

3,810m above sea level, and yet just as sea-like, Lake Titicaca is an apparently normal place. The view of the snow-capped peaks across the lake in Bolivia seem strange as those mountains appear so small, until you remember that you’re already 12,000 feet up! The Uros islands are a bizarre blend of reeds and rope, unfortunately a little contrived but charming nevertheless.
Onto Amantani and a (chilly) night with Portanata, our friendly Quechuan ‘mummy’ who runs everywhere and boy can she dance the night away! Then an early start to Taquille for the world’s earliest lunch before a leisurely sail back to Puno and the comforts of a hot shower and a duvet.

Colca Canyon

A bumpy ride to Colca took us to 4,900m before ‘dropping’ us down to a mere 3,400m in the Colca Valley. An evening in the hot springs with a crisp drink or two was heavenly…

We got up to trundle our way along the Colca Canyon, including a short hike along to Condor Cross lookout point. Here we were blessed with a view of 3m wing-spans gracefully soaring over a canyon that was over 3km deep! Peru showing off again

Arequipa's volcanoes

From Lima to Arequipa, and moving on and up the wow-ladder. Arequipa’s been beautiful across the board, from the all-pervasive view of El Misti and it’s siblings, to the parque central and monastary.

Onwards to Colca
