Days 414 – 420: A desert oasis and a bout of altitude sickness

After two weeks of dormancy, it was time to hit the road again. Next stop was in the city of Ica, around 4 hours from Lima. The plan was to visit the nearby Huacachina, Peru’s “oasis in the desert” that is around 5 kilometers away from where we stopped. Huacachina is a little village built […]

Days 103 – 111: Our Last Week in Mexico City and Journey to Puebla

  Our initial plan of staying in Mexico City for six weeks got extended by another week because we love this city so much and there was some work to be done. Work is exactly what we did for the whole week with just a dinner in a neighbourhood restaurant and a little trip to […]
