I broke my trekking shoes I bought in Beijing a couple months ago, on the way down the volcano... Now, the new game is : "find a 47-sized pair of shoes".... So, anytime I enter a shoe-shop I would go "do you have large shoes?", and the sailor would answer "yes, we do go up to 44"... or 45 with luck.
Do you have any idea apart from "buy a 45-pair and some scissors" or "some surgery would do"... If I do not have anything by tonight, I will consider the shipping option.

Hi,
First suggestion might be to hop...
If you could climb that high with so little air, you can probably hop for reasonable distances... and hope for an opportunity, someone who left a right 47 sized shoe (if he had broken his left shoe), and you broke the right, or a left...if you...
Best regards Jean-Yves
Actually, I broke the two of them... Going down a very steep sand slope (just like a 2000m-high sand dune). I can still wear it, but it is not comfortable anymore.
Tomorrow I will try to have the shoes fixed in some store... since there is apparently no way to find a 47.
If there is really no solution, I'll have to ship it from somewhere...
Des chaussures si chères, c'est vraiment abusé !
Premier post ici le jour de mon mariage, profite en bien !
Grosses bises de Lina et moi du fin fond de la jungle midi-pyrénéenne, continue bien ton beau voyage :!
Hum... let me see... you did sandboarding again, but without your surfboard this time, and this for a 2000 m down ride... and both shoes broke after only 1536 meters... You should go back to where you bought them and complain...
I am sure you will find in Cuzco someone able to fix your problem...
Have a good time in Cuzco !
Best regards Jean-Yves
Ça t'apprendra à acheter des chaussures en chine !
once I bought very fine "adidas" in china. 3 months later I was kicked out of every nightclub because there was a hole in it. never buy shoes in china;
By the way, it's war in bolivia, don't go there yet.
Ah ben ça, des chaussures made in china, hein, forcément ;-p
J'espère que tu vas au moins trouver un cordonnier pour te fixer ça le temps d'en trouver une autre paire. A l'aéroport peut-être ?
Un ptit bonjour de la part de Claire qui pense à vous :)
Elle me demande où vous passez vos nuits, chez l'habitant ou à l'hôtel ?
Après avoir farfouillé sur le net, il semble y avoir beaucoup plus de marchands de chaussure à Lima qu'à Cusco.. :)
Je t'envoie quelques liens par mail.
Ben finalement t'as trouvé ! C'était pas si dur !
Par contre, 45 dollars, ça fait aussi mal que la surgerie...
euh, chirurgie... la faute à ce blog écrit en anglais :-)
