A simple blog about our round-the-world trip. We will update when we can. Since our readership is international, we will write mostly in English. However, from time to time, we will write in Molière's language and Mickiewicz'. Feel free to comment and ask us questions about our destinations and "coups de coeur". Don't worry, we will also tell you if we ever find ourselves in... a putrid dwelling (for our colleagues at work); a s*** hole (for our close friends). :)
Bonne aventure!
The Great : The second day of our Salkantay Trek. Seeing the towering mountain of Salkantay next to us was a defining moment of our trip to Peru. I wish all the days during our trek brought as much excitement as the moment I stood in front of Salkantay.
The Hidden : Koricancha. We were pleasantly surprised by the mixed architecture coming from the inclusion of the old sun temple into the convent.
The Overrated : The city of Cusco. Please don’t misunderstand us, we did like Cusco. It is just that the city wasn’t as exciting, beautiful, gorgeous – you name the adjective – as we had heard from other travelers and friends. Cusco is nice but don’t expect the moon.
The Ugly : Well, housing in Peru. The Peruvian government seems oblivious to the loophole that allows Peruvians to avoid paying taxes on their (finished) houses. It is never too late to wake up though.
