From Bolivia we flew into Brazil...On arrival we had a bit of a scare, as there are apparently no Reals (the currency of brazil!) in Brazil! Due to the falling US$ Brazillians are holding onto their money and we couldnt change any US anywhere, which caused problems for our tour leader who has all our money in US.

First off, we met the rest of our group who are all really nice and we´ve all bonded over our many challenges (more on these to come!) We are now proud to say that we have both completed the Inca Trail - hoorah! For those of you who dont know what this is, it´s a 4 day trek in the Andes at extremely high altitudes which ends a...
