Lima Region, Peru
In the same hotel as a lot of Dakar Rally folk, with their set route, reliable, powerful machines and comfy, well stocked support vehicles... Pussies.
Lima Region, Peru
The finish line gathering is tonight in Piura, but we've still got a ways to go on our own adventure. Got to Lima today, where we'll wait until Anne-Lise is cleared to fly home, likely on the 18th.
Pisco, Peru
We shipped off the mototaxis on the 9th, but the adventure's not over yet. Anne-Lise had an appendectomy on the 11th, and is being released today, assuming I can figure out the Spanish for 'who do I pay for the surgery?'. Then we can start making our way home.
Pisco, Peru
Surgeon doesn't think it's Appendicitis, what could it be???
Pisco, Peru
It is now bedtime and we are still in Pisco. The others have gone to a hotel, whilst Anne-Lise and I are placing bets on whether she has the worst food poisoning ever, or appendicitis.@
Ayacucho, Peru
5 hours on the back of a truck gets us to Ayacucho. Mototaxi is with a mechanic for 24 hours, needs a whole new engine. Rest/Tourist day tomorrow, then.
Andahuaylas District, Peru
Made it over the mountains this time around, now up early again for another day of the same. Hope the roads ate better today. Sponsor us at www.justgving.com/FitzgeraldBlum
Huancayo, Peru
Broken down halfway up a mountain, will have to roll back down to the last village and scare up a lift back to Abancay and repairs. Adventure!!!
Abancay, Peru
Woken up early by a city that apparently doesn't ever get quiet. This morning's mission, mechanics to fix our mototaxi. Unlikely we'll get any driving done today, but we'll see.
Cuzco, Peru
we've made it 5 or so k outside Cusco, up a mad hill, in our truly useless mototaxis. Looking for an early bed for the night.
