hello my little cabbages im sorry for being a bad naughty relative and not writing for a long time, i have no other excuse than i´m a lazy git. so on to the adventures, lima was nice,lots of frendly locals ,but just another big city really. next, cuzco.great city nice pubs with even frendlyer locals.spent the first day ignoring all the advice on ajusting to altitude by drinking and eating lots,but then again i have never beleved in taking the easy option.we went on a fast tour of the citys sights museams etc. also went on a horse ride to see more, inca sites , temple of the sun ,water and sum other places,the guide was good at explaning about things.the day after we stated the journey to machu picchu,which started with a 5 hour bike ride down a mountain,with no guide as he had to get some bags back.oh and it was raining and the bikes had crap breaks and poor gears.the next day was spent walking up and down big, no really they were huge,hills but in the eavening we found the most kick ass club in peru it could hold about 30 people. next day we cought a bus as one of our group got food poisening and the guide had to stay with the couple, we did walk for a bit though, along rail way lines, singing all the way.when we got to the town we were staying in all were happy as we had hot showers,this was important after two days of cold ones in cold weather.after all this torture we got the bus up to machu picchu,at 5 in the morning,thank god for coffee.at the begining it was cloudy ,we had a different guide for this bit, nice chap told us lots.as the sun came up the clouds cleared, the veiw is amazimgly awsome. at the end of the tour we had a few hours to walk about and as we had´nt sufferd much we climbed a mountain called wynapicchu, at the top you get an amazing veiw of the whole place. going up took about 45 mins ,down took 10 as we ran for a laugh. we also walked back down from machu picchu, i ran some. to day we are off to arequipa with a few of the people we were on the tour with as we all are having fun,and seam to have found some sound people. will write more soon and add photos to ,have to go now to have a massage, its a hard life
