October 2021: "Fischers in Peru"

The lost vehicles of Arequipa

If you're a keen spannerer like me, Peru definitely presents one with some interesting opportunities.  For many years I reckon this place was a bit like Cuba, ie. lots of old vehicles lovingly tended to and kept moving, because new vehicles were impossibly expensive or just downright unobtainable.  But in recent years this has changed; new Hyundais etc. are readily available and comparitively affordable, and so the old vehicles are now, for the most part, collecting dust by the side of the road.

It's the little things

One of the things we really enjoy about Peru are the local eateries.  The BBQ chicken ("pollo a la brasa") is amazing!  Let's be honest, 1/4 chicken in Australia isn't much of a meal.  But here in Peru the things are closer to the size of turkeys, and so a 1/4 chicken is actually adequate!
