9 – 30 Jan - Lima, Peru – The Charlatons – Wonderland
Time for a collapse after a gruelling tour of Bolivia. And back to Lima, a little reality check and some time to chill. Happy days, summer had rolled in, and so had the Dakar Rally.
 Miraflores looking nice. |  Lima is changing very fast, money is being spent beautifying the city. |
 Made a new friend in the market |  Sarita making Lima look good |
And the Dakar rally was finishing in Lima this year, cool, time to see some FUCKEN SWEET MACHINES. It used to be called the Paris-Dakar rally and ran from Paris, France to Dakar in Senegal. This crazy race was across the African continent, and unfortunately due to vigilantes kidnapping the drivers the race was moved to South America in 2009. It now runs from Buenos Aires to Lima.
 BRAVOOO CHAPPY! |  Red Bull monster racing truck |
 The motorbikes are only allowed 450cc engines MAX |  Support vehicles |
 The final ceremony was held downtown |  where all the cars and people were scrubbed up nicely after 14 days of hard yaka. |
We enjoyed the rally a lot, and also had time to escape for a weekend to Lunahuaná for some rafting and our own version of the dakar rally.
 Rio Lunahuaná, super sweet for some rafting action. |  Sara’s first time on a motorbike, no problems. |
|
|  until Sara was bitten by a dog. Shocking, although quite tasty |
Till next time.
