Day 8 - Cusco and back to Lima

When we go on vacation, we sleep early and wake up early. This time in Cusco, there was big window next to the bed. After waking up spent some time looking out and sorting some pictures. We got ready and went for breakfast. 

After breakfast we had 2-3 hours so me and Shri decided to go around the time one last time while kids stayed in hotel. Those were memorable hours just to wonder around anywhere we wanted. We were appreciating each and every structure we see from Inca time. Cusco is great combo of modern plus ancient architecture. We took lot of pictures and did last shopping of chase which Ram wanted to buy. Spanish vs. Inca chase. 


We came back to hotel and checked out to catch flight back to Lima. We had some time while Shri was doing online checkin for Boston flight we talked with family. 

We reached Lima and we had almost half a day left and we had list to do 😊 we returned the phone given by our travel agency. We couldn't do paragliding when we were in Lima since there was no wind. Today we were lucky since there was wind and paragliding was open. We went there from airport and we were surprised to see the number of people and parashutes in the sky. There were many. 

Ram wanted to do it so he did.

After this we went to Hucca Pucallana which is pyramid built by Lima people. It is built with sea shells and mud, built 1300 years ago. It is in very good condition and amazes us.





 After this we went to fountain garden which made our evening memorable. 







Now it was dinner time. We decided to go to Peruvian buffet with Peruvian dance show. It was worth every penny and surely last thing in Peru. Good and dances were amazing. 

After this we headed to airport to fly back.

I would definitely like to go back again.

A Journey Through Sunshine and Serenity: Our Florida Getaway

Embarking on a journey to Fort Lauderdale, our adventure began with a serene stay at the Miami Beach Ocean View Hotel. We reached late to hotel and when we opened our eyes, it was a pleasant welcome by morning sunrays. The first day was a delightful blend of cultures, starting with the vibrant Wynwood Walls neighborhood, where the gelato’s authenticity transported me straight to Italy. Dinner was an elegant affair at a chic restaurant, setting the tone for the days ahead. The second day greeted us with a hearty breakfast at South Beach, followed by an exhilarating bike ride along the Hollywood Beach Boardwalk with Jai. The thrill of surfing was complemented by the taste of fresh fish tacos and the unique Shark Tank drink. Jai really enjoyed surfing and tacos. As the day waned, Häagen-Dazs ice cream for me and frozen yogurt for Jai were the perfect sweet treats before an evening spent basking in the ocean’s embrace. On the third day, We savored  Einstein Miami bagel, a perfect start...

Canadian Rockies - Day 2 - The Dream Day: Larch Valley Hike & Moraine Lake Magic

We started our second day in the Canadian Rockies with our little tradition — a steaming cup of masala tea. There’s nothing like that comforting aroma to kick off an adventurous morning. While sipping our tea, we had a great chat with our wonderful host, Jeremy -  a biker, traveler, and author of two books. He’s been around the world on his bike, and listening to his stories was truly inspiring. After breakfast, it was time for one of the most anticipated parts of our trip - the Larch Valley hike and visiting my dream destination, Moraine Lake! We grabbed some Subway sandwiches from Banff downtown to fuel up later on the trail and then headed toward Moraine Lake by shuttle. We started the hike around 12:30 PM, and wow — it was steep and challenging right from the beginning. But every step upward brought more breathtaking views of Moraine Lake below. The turquoise water kept peeking through the trees as we climbed higher and higher. As we gained elevation, the larches turned gold...
