Hi all! Finally managed to get a chance to get on a computer that lets us access our blog! Thanks in the meantime for all the messages you have been sending, they always make us smile :) We have had a very busy week, last week we visited Colca Canyon which is the deepest canyon in the world. We saw condors flying up really close there and got some good pictures. We are now in Cusco staying in a nice hotel (a good change from camping!)...last week we met up with...

Hello from Peru! Just a short entry from us both to let you know we arrived safely in Lima. Journey went quite well and 9 hr flight went fairly quickly, the films/tv and food were all great.

Plans to ...
