Hi Babe Just caught up with your super duper trip! So sad not to have been able to come along, but I think it was a good thing as I think I would not have been able to cope with the altitude all things considered.
So sorry Laki to hear your sad news....
Hope the Inca trail was breath taking and you were warm enough and could have a good old wee! Looking forward to seeing all your photos!

Hello from the UK Hi Laki (and Emma),
First of all, I'm sorry to hear about your father Laki. However it is good that you could be there for him and make your peace.
Well done also on managing to catch the plane - sounds like quite a mission.
Next thing to say - I think you should stop calling this a BLOG and in fact drop the letter L which would make it a BOG update as many of your posts seem to be about weeing, shitting and clipping your toe nails!! Then again this is in keeping with your finest D of E text message communications.
And on this topic, it is hilarious to see the shoe is on the other foot. How often have you told the D of E kids about buying SMALL BOTTLES of shampoo and such, and here you are now having to decant your stuff into small bottles. And also - was your bag a bit like Clark's bag - 53.2 tonnes? I remember you giving him what for about that.
YET DESPITE all that weight, you don't have the right clothing? What the heck have you got in there? Did you bring your hairdryer?
7kg though? Crikey. My bag for a week in Las Vegas was 23kg.
Anyway despite these minor mishaps it does look like you are having an amazing experience so keep it up and I do hope you make it to the top. I don't know what the alternative is - do you just die on the mountain if you don't make it to the top? If so I hope you conk out in blissful happiness with a great view. If not then I hope you enjoy the train ride.
See you when you are back.
Nick
P.S. If you tell the kids you ate Guinea Pig then they will cry and never look at you the same again. Best keep that one to yourself.
One Way to loose weight! Pleased you are on the mend! Just in time for the Chocolate factory visit and the cookery class it seems??? Funny that! LOL! Just joking!
Despite most photo's so far being sideways - it looks beautifull!
The light looks like a sunny crisp winter moring! Hope you have both found something warm to wear? Have you bought any alpaca yet? I bet you wondered why the Peruvians walked around in blankets and hats a lot of the time! HA!
Erm...I don't think so! Can't believe you said that about my lovely gpigs! You should try one to see what it tastes like! Hope you're well, sounds like you're having sooooooo much fun! Am very jealous! X
Cool! Hope you both climatize soon! Thank god Em didn't do the hike in the end...I said she would have ended up in an air ambulance or something! Itinery looks amazing! more pic's please! :)
Emma and I are climbing Machu in Peru....but just not together! Emma is doing it in 5* luxury and will meet me for the final ascent as she has had a series of mishaps in her training...... It will be the longest time we've spent together. That along with the flight and climb is going to be challenging. Not sure which part will be the most. Will we make it to the top? Will we make it on the Orient Express? Will we still be friends when we get back?!!!.....Follow us on our blog to find out!... full info
