At last!!! We arrived in Lima, the trip has begun! So far we havent been doing much, touristing a bit in the city (Ive also seen a LOT of the airport as I had some 13 hours waiting for Pierre to show up). Currently we are staying with a peruvian family that Pierre contacted over the internet thrugh couchsurfing, seems like a great comunity! They have been very hospitable, inviting us to stay at their place and showing us around a bit in Lima! Last night we (apart from Pierre, who went to bed due to some serious jetlag) stayed up til three playing Jerga over shots of Pisco (the national drink), in the end it got sort of dificult, especially as we were singin karaoke at the same time!
Now we are in an internet café trying to plan the trip but its dificult, the continent is sort of big so there are a lot of posibilities. Probably we´ll begin by heading south for a bit and then east to Cusco and Macchu Picchu, we are also looking into the posibilities for doing a trek up to Macchu Picchu, rumour has it there is an alternative to the Inca Trail that still might have some space for us.
Now we are of to see more of Lima! We´ll get back once we know more, and we´ll post some pictures for you!
Saludos a todos!!
Gustav and Pierre

Buenos Dias, Hi, Bonjour,
Happy to read news !...
Welcome in Lima ! It seems Pierre's flight was a little behind schedule !.... It's good you found someone to host you in Lima. Did you plan to go to Huancayo by train ?
Bon voyage en tous cas et profitez bien de vos découvertes,
Jean-Yves

Hey, you've not been on my blog lately so i'll give you some news...
Our flight Nairobi/Paris was cancelled so we had no choice and had to get a transit visa for kenya and spend one night in a five stars hotel...
Good luck for the internet cafés, most of the time the connexions are gonna suck so bad it'll take a few minutes to get on google.com ...
I hope you have 4 amazing months, as for myself i still have 3 weeks before i go back to school so i'll have some time to gang around on this site and maybe compete for a postcard, even if i'm quite far behind the first ;)
Enjoy !
Geographical update: Since its discovery in 1492 Cuba has NEVER been a part of Peru...
pauvre Greg en ***** au Kenya... ah, les affres des vols internationaux en first...
