Two gringos in footsteps of Simon Bolivar

For quite some time I was itching to get out and far from the Czech Republic. My girlfriend didn’t have any problem sharing my feelings, so the only spat was about which destination to choose. There were some emotions, but eventually we made our choice: a month in Peru, Bolivia and northern Chile.

The start was not ideal. A few weeks before leaving, I fell off a cliff and could walk only with telescopic sticks. Also shortly before, my lady had some kind of business to do in Spain. On the day of departure to Lima, when I picked her up back at the Prague Ruzyne airport, she recalled that she had forgot the have herself vaccinated… At the last minute too, I was trying to buy all kinds of practical little stuff in a nearby store. Holiday was about to start…

But in the end it turned out well, we really enjoyed it and lived many adventures.
