We had a bit of a sleep in and went to breakfast at 8:00am. There were lots of fresh fruits and I had two bowls of pineapple, watermelon and blue berries. We then went to the Western Union only two blocks away and got Peruvian Sol to have some cash when they don’t accept credit cards. We walked to the main plaza and took pictures of the arch and visited the cathedral. In the park, we were approached by police who handed us a pamphlet with the emergency numbers and tourist attractions and the officer commented on our matching shirts 😂 – I guess we are not blending in with the locals 😂. We returned to the hotel and Andrew could not get the GoPro to turn on at all – it must have finally completely stopped working 😳 which is also why there have not been any videos in the past few posts 🥺 – so Andrew went out again to buy a new one while I tried to extend my mail re-direct with Australia post and check important uni emails. We eventually checked out by noon and left by 12:30. We fuelled up for the first time in Peru where the petrol is measured in Gallons. We then headed to Moquegua, 157km away. The road was very good without any potholes and we only got to Tomasiri where there was another “Aduana” and we were directed to park the bikes and go to a counter with all our paperwork and passports. The officer took pictures of everything then stamped our TIP, asked questions about where we are going and then took pictures of our license plates and then we could go – we have no idea why we needed another inspection and stamp but all our paperwork was in order. We met a couple on their Royal Enfield – Tom from Spain and Sol from Italy – Sol was riding and Tom was the pillion. We exchanged WhatsApp details and I showed Sol the WRWR app and hopefully, we will catch up again in Cusco to exchange batons. We continued and there were roadworks and counter flow sections and my gps had a toll road ahead with a 6 km detour to avoid the toll – when we came to the turn-off for the detour it was a sealed road, so we took it and it lead through rural farmland – we turned a few times all on sealed roads until the last turn which was onto a very sandy minor farm track – it was only for 3 km before it was getting back onto the main road – it was quite sandy with some big rocks and I had my daily dirt road fix 😉 and we made it both through it and back onto the main road without any incidences. We continued through desert and dunes climbing steadily with spectacular mountains to both our left and right. There was nothing other than sand and rocks for the entire trip – we crossed one green valley and then the last stretch into Moquegua followed a green fertile valley and there were milk cows and green fields. We went straight to an iPerú office in town and got maps and road info to work out which way to go to Puno. The two staff were very helpful and I spent a long time in there and they gave me some Peruvian beads as good luck charm. We saw several women in traditional clothing on the square where the tourist information office was. We then only had another 900m to go to get to our hotel. I checked in and for some reason my Apple wallet would not work on their machine even though it worked fine in Tacna – so I had to pay with the travel Visa card that had gone through the washing machine and dryer in Concepción and that one worked 😂👍. We parked the bikes and recovered briefly before going to a nearby pizza place for dinner – was not great but the only place nearby for food. We treated ourselves to ice cream for dessert (which we needed to pay in cash – good thing we got money earlier in Tacna 😉) and then headed back to the hotel. After a shower, I worked on some blogs and sorted out the latest queries of our new Machu Picchu tour before turning the lights off ahead off a long day ride at high altitude to Puno.
