The scenery from the Cruz del Sur window as we rode from Ecuador to Lima was extremely interesting. After leaving the lush and tropical-like banana belt of Ecuador we were soon travelling through hundreds of miles of irrigated sugar cane fields in Peru. Sugar cane is one of Peru’s largest export crops. Then the landscape changed dramatically. Our big surprise was seeing the vastness of Peru's Sechura Desert. It runs along most of the coast and inland to the Andes Mountains. Stunning sights of pure, gorgeous sandy desert on one side and the colourful, always moving Pacific Ocean on the other.

Great photos and stories! You are still looking great, healthy and tanned. You must be on board and cruising by now - the final countdown is on. We'll try and chat when we can! :-) ETCC
