JAMES A bit out of synch again with the blog updates, but in our 4 days in Havana, we only came across one internet cafe - inside the poshest hotel in town, charging £4 for 15 minutes. We passed up that opportunity and had a Mojito instead. We were both really sad to have left the Cayman Islands after such a cool time there, but at least we were looking forward to Havana - probably the most different place we would visit on the whole trip. We'd obviously seen ...

JAMES Sadly rain stopped play in the wakeboarding after Nick had just one go, so I was never able to demonstrate my prowess at the sport. Probably a good thing as it would have been ultimately quite embarrassing, so at least I was spared my blushes! But we still managed to have a really good day out on the boat. There is something very cool about arriving places by boat - I think we should do more of it! When we are back in the UK, if anyone spies me arriving at...

Right, here we are, finally we are getting around to writing about Peru! A day by day, blow by blow account of the last 8 days is about to follow, so buckle up kids, it could be a long ride! SATURDAY 11TH OCTOBER KATIE Well, all the best intentions of meeting the group for a nice social dinner went out the window when I realised I had left my wallet in the internet cafe when doing the last update. We didn't realise for an hour or so, and by the time we sped of...
