Peru Photo Journal

Yes, it’s been a year and a half since we went to Peru and I am still writing the photo journal. There is a page of new content, and I am almost at the end of day four. (In other words, we haven’t been chased by the drunken, angry mob yet.)
Review of Moon Handbooks: Peru
Posted in bookshelf reviews, Peru 2006, travel on August 4, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
The Moon Handbook to Peru has it flaws, but based on the worn condition of my copy it does come in handy. The hotel and restaurant sections cover all price ranges, from dirt-cheap backpacker hostels to luxury hotels and the restaurant recommendations were reliable. The handbook is written for active travelers and includes many hiking [...]
Review of Frommer’s Peru
Posted in bookshelf reviews, Peru 2006, travel on August 3, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Frommer’s Peru is a good, solid guide that covers the standard tourist attractions, hotels, and restaurants. If you’re interested in something unusual or out of the way, then you are out of luck. Even though it is updated frequently, the prices seriously lag behind reality. Perhaps the new August 2006 edition will be more accurate. [...]

The first entries for the Peru Photo Journal are up (see link to the right.) Since I didn’t do a very good job keeping up with my trip journal while in Peru, accuracy is an issue.

We get to sleep in! After much wrangling with PeruRail, we finally confirmed our reservations. We’ll be leaving Ollantayambo for Machu Picchu at 10:30am in a Vistadome Valley train. We’ll head to Cusco the next evening at 5 pm.
Gringo Bill’s

Hurrah! We have a hotel for Aguas Calientes. We’ll be at Gringo Bill’s Hostal. That was a close call, now all we have to do is figure out how we are getting there. Don’t forget to pack a bathing suit, otherwise you’ll have to rent one at the hot springs.
