Hey there!! I'm in Cusco now and it's lovely here. Have spent the day buying thermals as tomorrow we begin the Inca Trail and don't get back until Thursday!! We have our pre departure meeting tonight so thats enough to get the butterflies going. It'll be fine though and we've been told lots of stories about how the porters carry the tents and run ahead of us to put them up and prepare gormet meals and hot chocolate etc. Apparently we eat 5 times a day, w...

Hey guys, So I'm in Arequipa and have a fab day visiting a convent and also a museum that holds a 500 year old Inca mummie in fantastic condition. She had been a human sacrifice on the top of one of the Andes mountains and had been frozen until recently when the snow had melted and an explorer literally stumbled upon her.

Not to worry though I'm ok, apparently I have enough air in my lungs to keep me from falling to the altitude! Nothing to go...

Hey there guys! How you all doing? I'm in Peru now and have finally found a computer that I can get my pics on to. I've managed to add loads more to the Equador photo album so don't forget to check those out as I need you to see the photographic evidence of me canyoning and horseriding. I actually abseiled down a 45 meter waterfall but I didn`t get any photos of it as there was no way they could be taken. I did do it though! Anyway, before I continu...
