24 Hours In Tacna…
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/DSF2755_thumb-162x190.jpg
23rd Oct. 2016 …and we unknowingly picked the day of the parade. In our planning, Tacna was just a stopover on our way to Chile. How wrong we were! We knew nothing about the place and expected just to pass …
A Means To An End
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/DSC3989_thumb-154x190.jpg
22nd Oct. 2016 When planning the South American section of this trip, we had two primary objectives – wine & steak in Argentina (obviously) and before that, exploring the north of Chile down to Santiago. Previously we had done the …
Shopping Traumas
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/DSC3997_thumb-190x127.jpg
21st Oct. 2016 As Miraflores is on the sea front, we decide to walk in that direction. We remember the Park Amor with the large statue of a couple embracing and head there first (via Starbucks to meet Dave’s coffee …
Different Facets of Lima
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/DSF2606_thumb-190x140.jpg
20th Oct. 2016 When we (eventually) started researching where we wanted to stay in Lima, it quickly became apparent that although we wanted to visit the Centro Historico, actually most of the hotels and the tourist infrastructure was centred around …
Many Bones And Skulls
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/DSC3941-Pano_thumb-1-169x190.jpg
19th Oct. 2016 In new cities we often find that walking tours are a good way to find our bearings, so we join the Free Walking Tour, which is funded by visitors’ tips at the end of the tour. The …
¿Hasta Luego o Adios?
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/WP_20161018_18_13_38_Raw_LI__highres_thumb-141x190.jpg
18th Oct. 2016 In short, there isn’t much for us to do today – a final photo or two in Cancun; pick up a coffee on the way to the bus station; then wait whilst the Mexicans sort themselves out …
Day 67: Living with The Locals
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/SAM_1907_thumb.jpg
Fri. 19th October 2012 This morning we were awoken by the sunlight streaming through the thin light curtains. Before we had time to stir there was a knock at the door from Janelli advising it was breakfast time. Our room …
Day 66: Floating Islands
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/DSC02674_thumb.jpg
Thur. 18th October 2012 I have a memory (real or otherwise) of 1st or 2nd Form Geography and hearing about Lake Titicaca and the people who lived on floating islands. Today, I got to fulfil a longstanding ambition by visiting …
Day 65: Transfer To Puno
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/DSC02581_thumb.jpg
Wed. 17th October 2012 Today we said goodbye to Cusco. We have enjoyed our time here – the parades, the sights, the small town atmosphere, the breakfasts at Jack’s, and particularly the chance to recharge our batteries after the Inca …
Day 64: Cheapskates
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/SAM_1861_thumb.jpg
Tues. 16th October 2012 Of the remaining tourist spots in town I wanted to see inside the Cathedral. It was 25 Sol (£6 each) to go inside and no photos allowed, but we had heard that if you get there early …
