Peru and Bolivia 2017

Our trip to Peru and Bolivia 2016

From an autumn inspired by North America, for winter 2016 we took off to South America. Our winter collection spans the green theme of the Amazon Rainforest to alpaca knits for cool heights. We consider the plains of Patagonia in Chile and the Amazon jungle of Brazil, but later land in Peru. So much to see, so little time! We add two stops in Bolivia because Diana who worked on the collection and has joined us on our trip actually comes from Bolivia.

We are away for eleven days and visit eight places. We travel by plane, minibus, train, boat and bike and stay at many different hotels. This is a breath-taking trip with many astonishing sights to take in: traces of the fascinating ancient culture of the Incas, the tropical heat of the Amazon Rainforest, the misty heights of the Andes and La Paz, the islets of Lake Titicaca and the salt flat of Bolivia. Not to mention all the adorable alpacas we got to pet and all the wonderful people we met! We returned with so many experiences, sights, shots and stories.

I mange år har jeg vært kunde hos Gudrun Sjöden, kjøpt klær jeg har slitt ut og hatt et spesielt forhold til. En slik tur fikk jeg lyst til å være med på, men dessverre var alt utsolgt på det tidspunktet vi skulle bestille. Heldigvis var det andre tilsvarende turer som ikke var utsolgte - og til og med billigere og lengre! Blink!

Et år er gått, og vi skriver 2017!
