We are in Peru

Hola all from Peru. We arrive safely after a crazy long journey, total time probably around 24hrs!!!

Started in Lima - which was very hot. After an interesting taxi ride we found our hotel and met up with the tour group.

Spent the day in Lima before travelling via plane to Arequipa. Trip plans were changed slightly due to miner strikes in Nazca. This saved us a night bus journey so all in all we were quite happy. Although not too happy to be sat on a plane so soon!!

In Arequipa we went on a trip to colca canyon, here we went to some hot springs (rubbish!!) and saw some big birds.... Condors to be specific.

We are now back in Arequipa for 2 days before travelling on a night bus to Cusco to start the trek to Macha Pitchu.

Hope weather in england is as nice as its been here, we are abit red! Missing you all

Bye 4 now, hopefully update after completing Macha Pitchu :-)
