en Peru : Honeymooners

At the beginning of December we decided to give South America a try and ventured down to Peru for our honeymoon! After a full days worth of traveling we arrived in Lima, Peru at around midnight and were shuttled to our apartment. After spending a couple days in Lima biking around the city, practicing our Spanish (or lack there of...) and spending time on the coast, we packed our bags and headed on a 22 hour bus ride to Cusco. Winding around the andes, through the desert, and throwing up in my pillow were some of the many adventures had on that bus ride. When we arrived in Cusco, Connor was having horrible headaches because of elevation sickness at 11000ft, so we found him some local Coca tea which happens to be the only thing that gets rid of elevation sickness. While in Cusco we travelled around to a ton of ancient Inca ruins, got caught in the craziest hail storm at the top of a mountain and wore awesome Peruvian sweaters. The peak of our trip was seeing Machu Picchu one of the oldest standing civilizations today and one of the seven wonders of the world! Our honeymoon was a blast, exploring South American culture and starting off our marriage with adventure!
