Hello from Cusco..... We arrived in Cusco after a pretty long bus journey...it seems in S.America if they quote you a journey time you add on about 2 hours! Also slight confusion on arrival as asked taxi driver to take us to Pirwa hostel and it turns out there are 4 in Cusco and we'd arrived at the wrong one! Ha. So we eventually arrived at the one we were booked in to...ok but again nothing special. It was a very rainy day and we didn't get up to much apart fro...

Hello from Puno..... So now Becca, Becky and I had left the group and were out on our own. I was a bit nervous especially as none of us spoke any Spanish but the first bus journey wasn't too bad. We got a bus from La Paz and the journey went pretty smoothly until the border.

As you can tell I, Becky, was not that impressed. We got to see a proper Chilean town but well, it was tedious. The beach is supposed to be one of its highlights and I´m sure it is in their summer time but Kate, Becca and I went laden with shopping bags (the straight road to the beach was pret...

Hello from Sucre........ Sucre was a beautiful city...one of my favourites in Bolivia I think. Our hotel was wicked as well and had kind of an old style French feel with a pretty little courtyad in the middle. Becky, Becca and I had quite a lot of our meals at the Joyride Cafe..we ate here with the group on the first night and went back out of laziness a few times! On the first day quite a lot of the group did activites but we three chose to chill out. Partly ...
