Thankfully, the flight from Lima to Iquitos on Wednesday went pretty much as smoothly as possible and so we touched down in the middle of the jungle with no dramas at all. Iquitos is actually the largest city in the world without any road links - the only way to reach here is either by plane or boat, and everything has to be "imported" like this also! Whilst we have experienced a lot of different types of hassle during our trip, nothing was quite like what ...

You know what, I don`t even know where to start - I`m so far behind! After saying bye to Juliane, I ended up waiting around for ages in the bus station whilst Karl, Jules and Carlos came to pick me up. The probem was that there turned out to be more than one station for the bus company I had travelled with, and so they had been driving round them all before finally finding me!

I hope I can do justice to everything that happened and how I felt, but sometimes words are not enough! Arriving in Cuzco n the 1st May, we did bits of sightseeing for a couple of days, whilst also trying to catch up on some much needed rest and for me, get rid of my squits! Then Thursday was the start of the 3 day hike to the site of Machu Picchu, the ...
