Emma and the Monkeys! Loving the blogs Emma! Keep them coming! Sounds like you are getting into the swing of things :-) Sounds like you have seen a lot of monkeys already, that's so cool that 8 surrounded you! Hehe! xxx
Boot camp... So! Boot camp! Say no more!
Basically, I see that you're on holiday, enjoying yourself and getting excercise - enjoy!!! Beats Monkey World I bet...
*hugs* Awww I will be thinking of you, hope it all goes well - and it is normal to get worried about trips when you start on them, I was misrible almost the whole of my first rain soaked Guide camp, but as soon as I was dry again (some four days later) I remembered the fun bits and I was too stupid not to sign up for every sucessive one anyway :o) Hope yu have a fab time.

Yikes Emma you have had some adventures already!! Sounds like you are coping with it all really well though, and I'm sure it will all work out okay and you will look back on this and smile! I did laugh at the bit where you fall out the hammock :-p xxx
Teething problems Dont worry.... these are teething problems all explorers have to go through as a rite of passage. Once, in customs, the officials unzipped my suitcase and counted out all my pants in front of everyone (much to my horror) to see if I was telling the truth about how long I wanted to stay! I'm sure once you get to camp it will all be worth it. Lots of love and enjoy it x
The Peruvian way Ah ems - poor you. I had a very similar experience, and a far worse experience on the way back, fear not and just mark it down to the nature of the universe. Which hostel are you at? As for the Visa, if the worst comes to the worst, you can just pop out of Peru for 24hrs and then cone back again, it wont be a problem. :) xxxx
Oh Emma! I'm so sorry to hear about your rough travels! Those are the absolute worst! BUT hopefully, with a good night's sleep, everything will be happiness and sunshine tomorrow (that's what my mom always told me, at least!). At least, you can rest assured knowing that you know have a fantastic story to share!!!! Right? Good luck friend!
Sounds like a tough start. Don't worry it's great material for a future biography. I had the same visa problem in Uganda, it turned out not to be a problem I just told them at the airport on the way out that I had been given the wrong visa at airport despite getting permission for a longer one from the embassy back home (which was true). Nobody even really cared at the airport though, so hopefully it won't be too much of a problem for you. Goodluck for step 2!
Ahhh Lima Emma Emma Emma,
I cant believe that i didnt see you before you got to Peru!!! Damn it! As one who has been to Lima multiple times I must advise the following, dont get a taxi from the airport that you haven't pre ordered, dont pay more than 15soles for a taxi into central Lima and most importantly - HAVE THE BEST TIME! Lima is a really happening place, you must go salsa dancing until all hours of the morning. I demand it of you. Lima itself is pretty grim but go out to Barranco and Mira Flores and have a really really reallly good night out, lots of dancing to shakira, and let the Peruvians teach you how.
All my love and jealousy,
Rach xxxx
