Mar 2006

Just got back from a three day trek in the Colca Canyon. The views are stunning and we passed through several villages accessable only by mule and without electricity or phone. Highly recommended!

Tom and I were walking from the bus terminal in Trujillo to the hotel when a guy ripped my watch off my arm (breaking the strap) and ran off. This was in broad daylight with pleny of people around. I couldn´t give chase because we had our bags with us. It´s made me a bit jittery but looking on the bright side the watch wasn´t particularly valuable and he didn´t snatch one of the bags (Tom was carrying is passport and flight tickets in his).
