Cuenca Peru

mancora, our first stop in peru,one-eyed-me and serbs with something on their head


hola,
im having my christmas holidays at the moment and i have to admit, not bad..not at all. I decided to go with Iva and Milos ( 2 from serbia) to join them in their adventure to peru. First we had a stop in the bueatiful and peaceful Cuenca, south of Ecuador and normally also Loja and Ingapirca but for one reason i cant remember, oh ja, the ticky time scedule, we decided to go directly to Peru. Crossing the boarder was our first adventure and they got us. The taxi driver framed us in every possible way. We paid a fortune for the ride of 15 minutes, we got a fake 20 dollar bill and he gave to little change back. Incredible...In Peru we first spend too days in Mancora a surfersparadise, and then got ot Trujillo an ugly city but we went visisting our first Inca stuff.. Chan chan and Huaca del sol y de la luna.. and now im in Lima, were Ivas father lives. The welcome was even for me very warm and amable...anyway tomorrow we go to cusco and machupichu the heart of the incas... be jealous and ciaooo


lima in sepia,
near the harbour..iva as moreno.. i as a less morena


btw, in peru their exist a nakes dog, he can be black, brown or pink as a pig and he only has some with hair on its head. He is that special that peru called him 'national inheritage'
btw2 in trujillo we had to wait for the bus so we talked a bit with one of the guides. Apparently they really believe in the power of the incas and their gods. When they are in the period of excavating ( opgraven)- only some moths a year- they have many rituals. Like they put herbs on their eyes, ears and mouth otherwise the bad spirit can come into you, what can lead to death
