It's been so long!

So my blog fell has apparently fallen to the waste side since I've been travelling which was a shame, as I think it was rather entertaining. I was in Peru last time. Peru got better and better you know. I was not so sure about it at first. All that hiking through the jungle and up hills all to see some Incan ruins. However, the more I spent time in Cusco, the more I fell in love with it. From the gorgeous restaurants to the swanky bars to the drop-dead gorgeous... scenery! It was amazing. And the shopping was pretty awesome. We met a really cool German girl while we were travelling round Lake Titicaca (you know, the big blue bowl of floating reads, random Bolivian dancing and hiking galore), so we ended going to Cusco with her and staying at party central Loki. It was good times all around and during that week I shopped alot and hiked, yes, hiked, up Macchu Piccu! It was one of the most amazing sights I've ever witnessed. Lush green land all around with an awe-inspiring Incan village plonked in the middle. I totally and utterly fell in love with it.

We also got change to travel to Lima which, contrary to reports I'd heard, was beautiful and after that it was on to Columbia which was okay. I had PMT however so that more or less hampered my experience there. After Bogota, it was so to Venezuela which was gorgeous. We travelled to a remote little village called Choroni where there were huge expanses of long sandy beaches set against towering mountains lush with vegetation and the twinkling blue sea sparkling from the other side. The men, however, were way too intense for my liking and in the end I was glad to make my escape. However it was bittersweet as I could feel my travels coming to the end. Trinidad beckoned for one day and one day only before it was time for the motherland… Guyana.
