Hello again We had a really great day today! Firstly we started the day with scrambled eggs and bacon...wasnt quite the same as home cooked but it was still tasty. We then headed to the ice mummy museum (I'm afraid I cant remember the actual name of the place). This place was fasinating! In 1995 an american explorer discovered a mummy of a 12 year old girl buried under a glacier in Peru. Due to the ice she has been completely preserved - she still has m...

We had lunch in the square which was closely followed ...

We met the majority of those on our tour in Lima and flew out with them to Cusco. Th...

Hello Everyone! Well we have arrived in Peru - hoorah! Ourr journey was eventful as ever! Taxi drivers are notoriously fast drivers in Argentina but we seem to have got mr slow coach for our journey to the airport.
