22nd September 2007 Well our bus ride from Puno to Cuzco was a very scary one, the driver was all over the place, im just glad to have made it here in one piece! There was a storm going on but that didnt make him slow down. We arrived into Cuzco bus terminal at around 2.30am but we were allowed to stay on the bus and sleep until 5.30am. Jenny started to get a jippy tummy but the loos were locked so she had to hang on. We got off the bus around 5.45am and went in...

27th August 2007 OH MY GOD, the scariest thing has happened tonight!!! We had just finished our pizza in this restaurant, when 2 buses collided right outside our window!

As they smashed into each other, the bus that was hit in the side flew across the road into a bank a...
