Day 2 in Peru. We realise (thankfully, before we left the UK) that due to the fact that our Machu Picchu tickets were for 7am, there was no way we would make the 4 hour train journey on the same day and so we had to arrive a day earlier. You can also do a 4 day … Continue Reading
Our travel to Peru is perhaps one of the longest I’ve ever done. It didn’t help that we started off in Amsterdam instead of London or that we had to transit for 8 hours in Lima without being able to get into the airport properly because our 3.30am flight to Cusco counted as a local … Continue Reading

As it turns out, packing for Peru is such a different kettle of fish! Given the amount of travelling we do, I kinda pride myself on being very good at packing. No shadow of a lie here, if you told me that a taxi would be arriving within 20 minutes to take me to the … Continue Reading
