Huaraz 15.09

Hola chicos!

We just came out from our treck in the high Cordillera Blanca and.. we found our burritoooooooooooooo ! Without Samuel (this is the burrito’s name) we would never make it to treck all Santa Cruz way long…our bagpacks weight all in all more than 40 kg! As we knew before the areeiro (the burrito’s owner) came along with us, but we were prepaired and rented a tentand bought food just for him ;) About the treck…what can we say…just amazing! The highest sumit - Punta Union, is 4,700 meters high. You feel like camping on the roof of the world :)) From there we can see what was named once the most beautiful mountain in the world: Altamayo! Yeah this one we didn’t climbed. it takes you a lot of experience and (heavy!) equipment for snow to do that …maybe next time (if we’ll survive the patagonian trecks, heheh just kidding! )

10.09.08 Huaraz

Hola muchachos y muchachas !

Saludos de Huaraz! Greetings from Huaraz !

We arrived in this nice village 4 days ago. It was around 5h30am and it was fuck** fresh. Huaraz is a very poor and small ¨place surounded by the great Cordillera Blanca (highest mountains in Peru), which summits reaches over 6000 meters high :)) So…finally the perfect place for these 2 crazy heads to have a rest! or…maybe not really! We¨ll tell you all about it a paragraph further ;) 
The Hostal we had book looked just like coming out of a fairy tale, but we knew it wouldn¨t be for ever…We had to look 4 something cheaper…when sudently …we were invited to stay in a closter which takes care of orfan and misstreated children. What a great experience it has been to see how these children smile and play, just like if they would always had had all the confort and material things we`re used to. Actually if it wouldn´t be for this organization they would have to skip some meals and would never get to know some basic higienic steps as brushing their teeth. They smile, play, jump with us…after all chilren will always be children :)) and we can see in their smilly  faces…they¨re happy!

Ok but back 2 the “resting part”. We decided to “hit the road” and start with a one day trecking to Laguna Churup. The treck was great and everything would end up well if it wasn´t  the case of this Laguna being ca.4.500 meter high…jap, aclimatization was needed…as well as a couple of hojitas de coca  - coca leafs, which we forgot to buy the previous day… Result: a huuuuuge headacke! And a lesson: never leave your sweet leafs at home :)) Ahhhhh and don¨t forget to ask when the last colectivo leaves(small van in a bus style). This costed us walking almost all the way back to the village (started 8 am ended 7 pm)
Ok guys…that all 4 today…We hope you¨ll enjoy the pictures (Huaraz folder). Tomorrow we¨ll hit the road seriously and will do a 4 days trecking. We¨ll finally rent a burrito….and as the owner has to come along we rented already an extra tent 4 him!

hasta luegooooooooo!

06.09 Lima

Hola chicos y chiquititas : ) 

As you can imagine we wont  sit here in front of the PC every day, but we created this blog to let you know  what we´re up to.
We landed in smoky Lima 2 days ago. Lima, hmm… nothing special, but the nice people : )
To overcome the jetleg (yesterday we went to bed at 8 pm and woke up at 5am asking for breakfast) we bought some cocalyptus tee. By the way…. our cup is calling again.
In 5 hours we will take the night bus to Huaraz in Cordillera Blanca. 

Hasta Luego!
