Base Camp Peru

Claire has started to sort out all the essentials we need to take to Peru with us, the spare room has currently been redesignated 'Base Camp Peru' is now piled high with rucksacks and clothes. And it looks apparent to me that all stuff is not going to fit into the three or so rucksacks that we are taking with us. After perusing the pile I noticed that there was nothing of mine there. Therefore we are going to have to reduce what we take somewhat dramatically.

Regarding the trip we have a plan of sorts, we fly into Lima, spend a few days there before we move onto Cuzco, Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. Then we are going to move onto Puno and Lake Titicaca, then its across the lake and into Bolivia and La Paz. I know its not technically Peru but we will be so close, and interesting fact, its the worlds highest capital city at 3,600 metres (11,811 feet). For Claire I think getting a Bolivia stamp in her passport is the most important thing, she has a thing about passport stamps and its important she has loads of different ones, it rankles her that she doesn't get a stamp every time she travels to Europe anymore.

After La Paz the trip is still pretty much open as long as we get back to Lima for our return flight we'll be fine. I am sure we will find plenty of interesting things to see and do and at least one or two stupid ones as can be expected.
