Friday Pohotography

Image
When I started out with photography I was obsessed with taking close ups.. macro shots. This is a sepia mirror abstract of a ceiling in Iran. I visited a long long time ago and now don't even remember where I took it but I found it fascinating. It was not exactly successful as a photo print but with the help of   Zazzle   and   Redbubble   it can be places on hundreds of print on demand products.      Anything you like?                                                                     Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Redbubble             Zazzle  

Our Peru Adventure - Machu Picchu

Image
After spending our first two days in Ollantaytambo  on the third day of our Peruvian adventure we headed to Machu Picchu.  Entrance tickets for Machu Picchu are divided by 3 main circuits. Each circuit follows a certain route, each circuit also has sub routes. You can purchase multiple circuits and sub routes depending on how much you want to explore. We choose Circuit 2 - The Classic Route.  Considering it is the Classic Route it sells out quickly and I was a tad late even though I was buying a few months in advance. The only available time for the 7am ticket. So we had a 4am wake up call. The hotel gave us some fruit to take with us and ordered us a tuki tuki.  By 4:40 we were at our train ready to board. It was a very easy process. I had booked our train tickets with Peru Rail. Since we were planning on sleeping through this leg of our journey I choose to buy a lower class Expedition ticket.  We ate our fruit and ordered some coffee and then tired to sleep. I...

Our Peru Adventure - Ollantaytambo

Image
Hello everyone.. how have you been? The sun is out.. things are in bloom.. D and I are sneezing.. spring is here.  Last week we sadly returned home after have the most incredible Peruvian adventure.. which I am so excited to share here with you.  We caught a red eye (my preferred time of travel) out of JFK on Saturday night.. Sunday morning we landed Lima but we were nowhere close to our destination. We had a sit down breakfast at the airport while we waited for our next flight and then we were off to Cusco. Two hours later we got into a taxi and made our way over to Ollantaytambo just another short two our drive away.. don't ask me much about it since we slept through most of it. That was a lot.. I know. Not let me explain the why. Altitude sickness is a real problem when visiting Peru. We heard stories from many fellow travellers who did not take the time to acclimate properly and found part of their travelling party sick as dogs and missing out on the whole trip as they wer...
