PROMENADE, Summer Vacation 2007

We sent an email to some of our favorite charter boats to ask what they did on THEIR summer vacation...

Here's what Lisa & Rich had to say:
Hi there,

Good to hear from you, hope both of you are well!

Myself and Rich have literally just returned from our hol's! We spent one week in Orlando and four weeks in Peru! Peru was an amazing country, lots of desert which I didn't realise. We had time to do a tour of the whole southern part, starting in Lima, then Nasca to see the strange lines in the desert, from there to Arequipa, where we did lots of activity stuff, quad bikes, horse riding, went to see the largest canyon in the world and the Condors that live there. It is also an area over 5000 metres above sea level so we had the altitude and lack of air to contend with too! We went to Lake Titikaka, the highest navagable lake in the world, took the Orient Express to Cusco, from where we did a week in the jungle of Manu. Lots of insane wildlife, the worst being a tarantula crawling out of Rich's hiking boots!

Food was amazing. It was the only time travelling I have put weight on! We ate some weird and wonderful things, we chewed coco leaves for altitude sickness and drank it as tea, we ate guinea pig! (see attached picture), tripe soup, alpaca (related to the Llama, it was my favourite!).

Best regards,

Lisa and Rich (Promenade)
