Trudy with her birthday present 

Trudy has her birthday today! After a nice breakfast we go on the road to see the Puya Raimondii. A kind of yucca, but than so extraterrestrial big.
We go from the main road to a dirt road which leads to nobody land. The road is very rough but that doesn’t matter because we have such beautiful scenery of snow peaks and magic valleys.

Model T with Puya Raimondii 

After a couple of hours of rising on the road we can see the first the Puya Raimondii.
We have a delightful birthday coffee with Trudy, cake from Thecla on a nice Peruvian table cloth with got Trudy from Dirk and amazing scenery. After the coffee we rise and rise through shameful gorgeous mountains. The air is getting thinner, the road is getting rougher, and there is blowing a very cold wind. We wonder every minute about the changing views. How much beauty you can have­­­ on one day?

man on horse 

We reach a magic height of 15,000ft! First the model T gets some help of an extra horsepower, to get to the elevated heights. The air is thin that even the model T gets free with his wheels in the air.

Dirk can’t hold the Trojan stallion inside the model T and so he brings us to different spheres from other places. Or is it the work of the coca leaves?
