Did you know there are pyramids in Peru - or that mummified corpses can talk? This is the story of one pensioner’s visit to Peru, where he stood on the famous Nazca Lines. He later took to the air in a light aircraft and flew over the mysterious lines and geoglyphs, that stretch for miles in the desert. At Machu Picchu he walked amongst the ruins of a sacred Inca city that is perched high on a mountain top. He travelled to Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire and found himself taking part in the traditional festival of Corpus Christi. At Barranco he walked across the Puente de los Suspiros - the Bridge of Sighs - where it is said a wish is granted to whoever crosses for the first time. The result was quite unexpected! Many people dream of the distant and exotic places they would visit when they retire but few ever manage to do so. Read how one pensioner ignored the many arguments against such an adventure and made his dream come true. The book presents a vivid account of his travels and is sprinkled with humour. It contains 154 pages and is illustrated with 48 original colour photographs.
