Its nearly done...!!!

Hey hey monkeys,

Again just a a short note to let you now whats doing.......

The past week has been pretty full on......spent 4 days doing the Inka trail.....probably the toughest thing physically I´ve ever done in my life..... day 2 particularly was tough....only about 9kms but reached about 4100m and it was pretty much all up steps at a 45 degree angle for kms on end......really tough...but all worth it in the end when we reached Machu Picchu on the morning of day 4....

After that travelled by plane and boat to Peurto Maldanado and the junle lodge where we spent 3 days..... went from cold cold nights in the Andes to 35 degree days and about 99% humidty....was great though...loved my time in the jungle

Which brings me to now ...i´m currently sitting in Santiago Aiport in Chile, with only 10 hours til I fly out to auckland then sydney....so basically have about 24 hours travelling ahead of me....sounds AWESOME!!!!

When I get home i´ll add photos and shite....can´t do it at the airport here....and I´ll do a bit of a more detailed report, mainly for Nunny and Chards who I know will be disappointed with the brevity of the last few blogs....

So I guess the story is...I might even see some of you before you read this.....

Till then

go and get stufffed
