Hey everyone! It has now come to the end of my trip! My last few days in peru were spent relaxing. We headed to nazca where we had a pool ! So I spent the whole day topping up my tan being the little sun worshiper I am! While in nazca we had a traditional food ceromony performed to us. It was called patchumuma. They basically cook meats, pulses, potatoes and corn in the ground. They dig out the hole, fill it with hot coals put the food on top then pile the soil back in. The food is cooked like this for about 2 hours. Once the food is cooked a god mother and godfather is picked who then make an offering of Chicha - which is corn juice is made in a cross shape. ... read more

Hi everyone !After arriving back in Cuzco we took the two days easy. Sadly on the first day I was still ill so ended up back in the hotel on my own. About 5 I decided to get a Starbucks and McDonald's with the others to try ad make myself feel better ! The day after I was determined to get out and do something as we had time to kill until 7.30. I went to the inca museaum. There were lots and lots of pots there - that's enough pots for me this holiday I think! They also had some of the mummys which had been preserved, scary but very interesting and couldnt believe they survived so long without just breaking! I took some sneaky pictures so you could see ;) after a 10 hour ... read more

HI guys! So after a bit of a rubbish bus journey we reached the Bolvian side of lake titicaka. We had to cross on a small ferry separate from our bus as last war a few buses sank! We finally got to the boarder and we were told it could be up to a couple of hours and after arguing with the man in the resultresultant that my card does work I was not looking forward to standing around for 2 hours! Butttt it seems luck was on my side and I walked in they stamped - didn't even check my picturbrand walked straight back out - awwwww a big sigh of relief! We finally arrived in puno. From the outside it looked like uyuni - a crap hole, but after an even meal here seemed ... read more

Hello everyone! We had about 3 days in sucre. We started our second day by walking round the city. We popped in to the local free museaum which had an exhibition of Bolivian mask , very intresting and amazing how stunninof some of thesemasks were. When we got back to the hotel my tour leader Carolina knocked and said she had a delivery for me. It was a white rose and I later found out it was suppose to be from the receptionist! We went quad bikacted for the day. I was expecting it to be round a dirt track however we went round the countryside n cliff edges and mountins for 3 hours! Was a bit scary at first as I kept thinking I was going to go of the edge because I couldn't steer ... read more

Heya guys! Sorry I haven't been in contact for ages when I left San Pedro I also appear to have left phone signal Internet and general civerlisation! We left sunny San Pedro to head for the other side of a mountain that separates Chillie and Bolivia. When we crossed the boarder for Bolivia we gradually reached higher altitides to get to boarder control. Very different from our boarder control. Bolivian boarder control consisted of a hut with a desk and two people stamping people in and out of the country. I got a headache as soon as we got there and new it would just be down hill from then. We moved all our belongings into 4x4 trucks - they are the only things that can cross the dessert and salt flats because it is literally ... read more

HOla from my faveorite stop so far!Still in the little town of San pedro. Today we went sand boarding it was amazing. I couldn't stop the first time so screamed the whole way down until I landed flat on my bum! There are some funny photos but they are on a cd and cameras. So can't upload them until I'm home! (incase anyone was wondering sand boarding is snowboarding down a sand dune on a big board that your feet are strapped to. After an energetic 2 and a half hours doing that - and a tiny bit of sun bathing on the dune we headed back. Tried a local Ice cream today was amazing ! Defo need after lack of food previous days! Would recommend it and bring some out but it's a bit far ... read more
