| Tingo Maria - Huaraz (01-07/09/2013) |
Ce qui devait être les trois plus belles semaines de notre voyage va certainement devenir les trois semaines les plus cauchemardesques.
On devait découvrir de nouvelles routes dans la cordillère blanche et ce sera nada !
J'ai attrapé une méchante broncho-pneumo-machin il y a 6 jours et suit alité à Huaraz.
Et pour être certains de rester encore plus longtemps à Huaraz, j'ai fini, hier, par contaminer Corinne.
Bref, y a de la joie !
 |
| Au début je sentais que quelque chose ne tournait pas rond. Pour info, non je n'ai plus une grosse pense c'est juste la taille originale du maillot. |
 |
| Là, j'ai dit à Corinne que je n'était pas certain de pouvoir continuer. |
 |
| Le lendemain, j'ai encore essayé une trentaine de kilomètres... et puis j'ai capitulé. |
 |
| J'aurais mieux fait de faire comme cet étudiant ! |
 |
| Nous voici donc bloqués pour de longues journées essayant de capter TV Moscou. |
| Tingo Maria - Huaraz (01-07/09/2013) |
We leave the selva, for our last trip-portion= back to the mountains.
On top of the climb (from Tingo Maria to Huanuco) is a tunnel, which is not very long, but the difference of both sides of the tunnel are big :
On one side it is still very selva-like, with lots of green & wooden houses,
and on the other side of the tunnel it is already completely mountain-like, more dry with adobe-houses...
Bye, bye, selva, with it's beautiful girls with long dark lose hair and mini-skirts (=for that reason Enzo would maybe prefer to live in selva-regions, he said).
Hello again, Andes, with their quechuas-indians (=a little bit less sexy)...
| |
| In the Huanuco-valley |
| |
| Climbing out of the Huanuco-valley |
|
|
| Almost reached the top... |
| |
| Buying some food-supplies... |
| |
| Not sure what this is meant for : Probably serves as food, but with the Andean-Indians (and their many beliefs) you never know... |
| |
| Some indian-women-clichés : They age quiet quickly.
The pysical resemblance to Tibetans, reinforces again the 'doubts' about a migration from Asia (long time ago). |
| |
| Usually I don't like to 'steal' a picture that way, but just to show the intimacy of an indoor-household... |
| |
| Cutting the wheat.... by hand... |
  |
| We we're not able to make the 130kms between Huanuco & La Union in 2 days... So, we wanted to put up the tent in the little village of Acobamba, but as we had intertained the children of the village so well, we received a 'hostal'-room for free (=luckily, as the room was not very cheerfull... We will surely not sleep in these sheets, but take our sleepingbags instead...) |
  |
| In the direction of La Union = Enzo feels ill & says to have fever... We take a hostal in La Union & the next day I book a bus to Huaraz...
Of all the journey, the Cordillera Blanca was what Enzo was most looking forward to... Hopefully he gets well quickly... |
| |
| These pictures are taken... from the bus... The Cordillera Huayhash, -Huallanca, -Blanca,... We want to cycle 'in' & 'through' them... (not watching them from a distance from a bus)... Grrrr...! |
  |
| These pictures (also taken from the bus) seem like paintings... |
