Last of the Sun I´ve vowed to become a better blogger and update shorter but more accurate blogs from now on and so this will no doubt be considerably shorter than the previous one... I´m currently in a place called Hurraz, a mountainy city where our Peruvian leader lives. Yesertday we went to visit his family (cutest kids in the world). We´re pretty high up (3000m) at the mo, and we´re all feeling pretty nervous as tomorrow marks the first day of trek nume...

Feeling pretty knackered, struggling to move and to keep my eyes open! Over the weekend I went on a school trip to a place called Chincha where there are some pretty run down communities and a lot of families that were affected by a major earthquake in 2007. Many homes were knocked down and are yet to be rebuilt and ...
