I got up quite early even though my sleep was really disturbed. The party girls in my dorm came back at 4am totally leathered and put the light on and made lots of noise. Later at 6am, Chris's tour guide came into our dorm requesting he join everyone else in the van waiting to go on their Macchu Pichu trek. However Chris couldn't go because of his typhoid infection and so after some 5 minutes the tour guide realised and left. However everyone in the dorm got woken up. Me and Chris walked into town, he went to the LAN office to change his flight ticket whereas I went searching for for a Spanish school. I eventually found a school in the San Blas area. It seems like a good school so I will study there for 3 days then do my Inca trail with my dad who is flying out to join me. Then I'm going to be learning Spanish for 3 weeks and also doing volunteer work organised by the school. This will involve teaching English, helping streetkids and organising football matches etc. I also might try and do a language exchange with Vanessa's sister as she said she'd teah me Spanish in return I help develop her English grammar. I start tomorrow with my teacher Adriana and 2 girls from Holland and Germany. We will be covering the preterite tense (what's that?) It's being able to say " I went, I sang, I danced". I then went in search of a hairdresser but I can't find any. My hair is getting unmanageable. I am also still on a quest to find flip flops especially as my leather shoes are beginning to deteriorate. I went into an internet cafe for a while and had a great lunch of oreos and tea. I walked back to my hostel and chatted to the Kiwi guys who were in my dorm last week and have returned from their trek. They gave me some handy tips and told me that the path to the Sun Gate is no longer open due to a landslide so you have to walk along the railway line to enter Macchu Pichu. The Peruvian cleaners came in and I had a bit of banter with them. I was curled up on my bed with the big, war duvets. Julia (that's one of the cleaners) calls me "gatito" which means kitten. She says I that's because I have eyes like a cats and that when she comes in to clean at 7pm I'm always having a power nap. I played Chris at chess in the hostel bar, he beat me twice. However we then played draughts and I annihilated him. We then played s***head (the addictive card game) with 2 Canadians and an Aussie. Later at 9ish we were called to dinner. Tonight is Peruvian night and so the meal was all Peruvian cuisine including alpaca steak (alpacas are a bit like llamas).It was so nice..hmm. We stayed in tonight but had to wait a while to get to sleep because the English girls in my dorm had to pack for their Inca trail. They're taking way too much; cocoa butter, eye moisturiser, loads of perfume...
