So, after Amee and Gemma left and I was alone for a few hours I decided to head to the rooftop bar of the hostel to relax and read my book but after about an hour of being there I got a facebook message telling me that they were unable to fly due to snow and that their flight was cancelled until Tuesday.

As soon as we landed and got off the plane we were hit with the humidity and warmth of the jungle and was a welcome break from the icy cold nights high up in Cuzco.
