Hi, Just a quicky to say that I'm in Puno and have just spent the night at a home stay on one of the Islands on Lake Titicaca. We were paired off into two's and given a local family where we were fed and put up for the night. We were also dressed up in the local costume and taken to a party where we danced the night away (local style of course). On our way to the Island we stopped at a piece of land made of reeds. Wow! The pic's are cool but don't have ...

Hey there!! So I've done the Inca Trail! Woo Hoo!! It was very hard but fantastic. I've put photos on the site so go ahead and check them out. I'm not going to go onto the details as I'm actually a little hung over and need to have a fry up but what I will say is that the days were hot and the nights were cold.

You can see her hair and skin and everything, very good! Unfortunately we weren't allowed cameras in there so you'll just have to take ...

Hi all!! So, last night I spent the night in the desert after participating in a spot of sandboarding, which is wicked!! We journeyed into the desert on sandbuggies that literally flew over the dunes. At the end of our boarding sesh we went down a very steep hill on our boards into an area where they had put on a BBQ and free flowing Peru Libra's!! Needless to say that today I have been a little unwell! Hmmm. The sky last night in the desert was amazing ...
