Can't believe it's time to leave Peru tomorrow! :( Peru is definitely my favourite country so far. Full of culture and just a beautiful country. Definitely want to come back one day and explore more areas of Peru. I will definitely miss the bread! Can never get enough of it here. Met the others at 9am to go to the cafe we went yesterday lunchtime for breakfast instead of having free breakfast at the hotel, as a treat. I had pancakes which were so filling! They ...

Today was the last full day in Cusco before flying back to Lima tomorrow. Had a nice easy morning, didn't have to rush for anything which was nice. Although I did get up at 6.30am! Guess my body clock is used to waking up early! Walked around Cusco on my own for a bit before meeting some of the others at 11am to go to this chocolate museum. Turns out it was the exact same one as I went to in Guatemala!! Didn't do the chocolate making class though, just looked a...

Back in Cusco! I GOT INTO MACHU PICCHU!! YAY!! :D :D Got up at 4.30am ready for breakfast. Left at 6am to get the bus up to Machu Picchu. Was so nervous as was really hoping I'd be able to get in. Brought a copy of my passport and my driving licence and luckily they accepted it. Was so happy!! It started to rain but luckily it didn't rain for long, phew! Didn't want to have to get my raincoat out! It was so cloudy so it was hard to take good photos. But mana...

In Aguas Calientes. The hotel we're staying in is lovely! Getting very spoilt with hotels on this trip so far! I'd better not get used to it as I know the standards will drop as I'm staying in cheaper hotels in a couple of weeks! This morning we visited the Ollantaytambo ruins before getting the train up to Aguas Calientes. Again, it was beautiful. Lots of steps! My legs will definitely be toned at the end of this trip with all the steps I've been walking up lol...

Hi from Ollantaytambo! It's been a long day! Left at 7.30am and made our way to Ollantaytambo visiting a couple of places on the way. Drove through Sacsayhuaman and then visiting Ccaccaccollo where there is a Planterra-supported women's weaving co-operation. Fed some alpacas and they explained the process of weaving. Bought quite a few things there! All for a good cause of course as it helps the community. Bought a hat, fingerless gloves/mittens, a scarf all mad...
