27th Oct 17 - Matarani, Peru
Our last port of call in Peru. We decided to do a bird-watching trip to the wetlands. It was not a great success as we were on the bus for 4 hrs - most of it on unmade roads. And, to be fair, we probably had seen more (but different!) birds on our pond at home!

I made these Peruvian schoolgirls laugh... |
|
The landscape was bleak |
|
The road had steep drops with no
barriers. The crosses signified the many accidents and fatalities. We were glad to get back on board Silver Muse! |

dusk. Goodbye Peru... |
