Here I am in Cusco, all on my lonesome. Ben went off to do the Inca Trail on Monday and gets back tomorrow tea time. It's the first time we've spent a day apart in five months so it feels very strange and I feel like I'm at a bit of a loose end! I don't know what to do with myself! I'm missing him!

Hi there folks It sounds amazing in the Jungle, but I cant imagine my wife putting up with all the travelling on the crap roads and mud tracks, all through the night on some pretty dodgy transport by the sound of it. Reckon you must have the mind of a man shelly, thats a compliment by the way. I thought you were describing the Maintenance Team at Drax, when i read the list of difernt species you had seen in the Jungle. I had to laugh when you said Ben had got upset over having the Catfish for Dinner, I just cant imagine it, well not if it meant filling his belly or going hungry anyway. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip, I cant believe it is almost 6 months since you set off on your trip. theres one thing for sure you wont be forgetting the last 6 months in a hurry. x x

Hi Ben, Shelly great to catch up with your trip again, poor Shelly you had me crossing my legs for you. Life will certainly feel mundane when your trip is over, but still some time to go so keep on enjoying. Love Keith & Gill xx
