The Foodie reawakens

Posted on June 4, 2014December 20, 2020 by KK

After travelling in Peru for a while, I was beginning to get sick of the same staples available everywhere; pollo con papas (chicken with fries).

The Sacred Valley

Posted on May 27, 2014 by KK

As part of my time in Cusco (where I stayed a few days before going to Ollantaytambo, then Machu Picchu, then back to Cusco), I took an all-day tour called “The Sacred Valley Tour” and also a chocolate-making class. Here are pictures:

Lake Titicaca

Posted on May 27, 2014December 20, 2020 by KK

There are 2 reasons people stop in Puno: To visit Lake Titicaca To sleep the night before continuing their journey into Bolivia The town itself isn’t worth visiting. I decided to take a 2d/1n tour of Lake Titicaca (“Puma Rock” in Aymara language), the highest navigable lake in the world at nearly 3800m above sea…

The (Possible) Invention of Spandarin

Posted on May 27, 2014 by KK

I took an 8-hour day bus to Puno, which I enjoyed much more than any of the night buses I’ve been on. The Andean mountain ranges provided a spectacular backdrop to complement my often recurring imagination of Incas dancing everywhere to the beat of Lady Gaga. (Rocket Number 9 take off to the planet…to the…

The Pissing Scotsman

Posted on May 21, 2014 by KK

Some young Scottish guy decided to go out last night and get very drunk. He comes back at 4 am, gets in bed, then proceeds to talk loudly in his sleep at 5 am before waking up and then taking a piss on some Israeli guy’s shoe in the dorm. I am a light sleeper…

Random story about donkeys

Posted on May 20, 2014 by KK

Once upon a time, I was walking down a quiet road outside of Cabanaconde when I happened upon a herd of donkeys in the middle of the road. There was donkey shit everywhere. One donkey went up to a pair and started smelling their butts. Then it started to donkey-kick the pair. The pair submitted…

I look Peruvian?

Posted on May 18, 2014 by KK

This morning, I was sitting at the hostel computer and someone asked me if I could book a taxi for them at 6:30 am, thinking I worked at the hostel. This afternoon, someone asked me if I was the bus driver. I replied, “I could be. But we’d get very lost.” Did I get dark…

Machu Picchu

Posted on May 11, 2014December 20, 2020 by KK

I kept making the mistake of looking up the endless flight of stone steps, thinking that magically, maybe the top of the mountain was just around the corner. Each time, I looked back down, sweat dripping, and took one tiring step after another to the beat of Lady Gaga’s new album, Artpop.

Reinvigorated

Posted on May 10, 2014 by KK

At the beginning of the week, I felt a little burnt out from travel. I did a little research on it to validate my state of mind and turns out, it’s very common for many long-term travelers. I arrived in Cusco yesterday morning and today, I spent the entire day on a Sacred Valley Tour,…

No 5d/4n hiking for me

Posted on May 8, 2014 by KK

Did a lot of thinking the last few days and I’ve decided to take the train to Machu Picchu instead of hiking it. I am not the biggest fan of hiking, even less when it’s 5d/4n of 6-8 hours at high altitude and cold and bug bites. I heard the views on the hike are…
