We woke up around 6am again, and since we already knew there was no coffee available nearby, we headed towards Yellowstone. About 14 miles down the road, we found the expected gas station (Sinclair) and pulled in to get a couple of hot coffees. Manoli got a large coffee and I got a large Cappuccino.. for 1 buck! We continued on to Yellowstone, about 40 miles from our KOA, and entered Gardiner, Wyo Read on...
Lucero, one of our volunteers at the Covid Relief Project, distributes baby clothes to mothers at Hatun Qero. The closest town where you could buy clothes is three hours on a rough dirt road from Hatun Qero.
Hatun Qero is about a six hour drive from Cusco, which is why we asked the mayor of Paucartambo to send transportation that could pick us up at 5am. The night before he had sent a large truck Read on...

The Adventure Mayas minivan by to pick us up at 8:15 to go on our excursions, so room service was scheduled an hour earlier. Room service came even earlier than our alarms and woke us up with another loud buzzer at our doorbell.

Today we were keen to leave early and head straight to Coral Bay, a two and half hour drive from where we were. The place was packed, an obvious popular tourist destination as the waters were clear, turquoise and bright blue with white beaches and a reef only 200 metres away.
The little town had one side of caravan and tourist parks and the other had the small shopping precinct, including a coupl Read on...
The Polica Nacional de Per still has the main square in Cusco cordoned off. Many public places are still closed, even six months after Perus quarantine/lockdown started.
In some parts of Peru, this is the last day of full day Sunday curfew. In Cusco, the current outbreak is so bad that none of the restrictions will be lifted here. We still have an 8pm curfew and are not allowed to leave the house Read on...
After breakfast, we headed to the Sunday Market (Medan Niaga Satok) for some shopping opportunities. Since it was a holiday when we visited, closed to 70 percent of the stalls were not opened for business. Nevertheless, we found ways to entertain ourselves by posing plenty of wacky shots by the Sarawak River.
We were back in the city centre by lunchtime. Starting from the atmospheric Old Courthou Read on...

To moja trzecia wizyta w Parku Narodowym Canyonlands i, mam nadzieję, nie ostatnia. Sam park leży na terenie wielkiej pustyni, ale podzielony jest na trzy całkowicie oddzielne części u zbiegu rzek Kolorado i Green River. Najłatwiej dostępna jest c Read on...
