So much to fill in once again! I finished at the orphanage just before atempting to see Machu Picchu and really enjoyed my time there. Day to day we didnt have to do much except play football or in the park. Or if we bought beads, etc. we could make bracelets with them. The boys were always more into the activities than the girls were, even the day I took my nail varnish for them to put on! We also took them all into town to watch one of the easter parades, tho...

I warn you now that it is unlikely that you will believe that the following actually happened, I am having trouble believing it myself!Got up at 6am on the 31st March in order to get a minibus to Machu Picchu in time for the day it opened. It was going to be a 6 hour bus journey, followed by a 4 hour trek, getting us to Aguas Calientes for about 5.30/6ish. We met at the tour agency at 7am and had a FOUR HOUR wait for the tour guides to buy the tickets to Machu Pi...

Mum said that my last blog was too boring so I thought I would write about some more amusing things which have been going on: Massages: Six of us went to have massages, three girls in one room, three boys in the other. Good job we divided it by sex as the people doing the massages did not know what they were doing! The boys had their bums out and all of the girls had their boobs looked at. Football: Took all the kids to see a football match last weekend, whic...

Made it to Cusco with no problems and found ourselves a hostel before hitting McDonalds for breakfast! Guilty. The town is very pretty, with a main square and very colonial buildings. We organised ourselves for the next couple of days and had quite a lazy day. The next day me, hollaye, alex and kyle went to the sacred valley to look at the ruins there which were very impressive. Basically all the big ruins look like Macchu Pichu, so imagine something like that!...

At the copa.... Copacabana! Deffinately an annoying song to have stuck in your head for three days of hiking, even if I was in Copacabana! Arrived in Copa after an extremely picturesque minibus ride. Decided to splurge and pay 3 pounds to rent the entire minivan between 7 of us instead of fitting in 14 people! Also had to put the minivan on a boat and us on another boat for part of the ride! Lovely little town situated on Lake Titicaca but full of hippies! Ser...
