So we have made our way up the coast from Arequipa since our last update and there have been even more trials and tribulations to report. Firstly, arriving in Arequipa after a lovely flight with LAN from Cusco, Amber realises she is now without her beloved camera and subsequently all snaps of Machu Picchu... AAARRGH!!! Turns out it fell out of her rucksack at the hotel in Cusco, they found it and very kindly popped it straight in the post to Arequipa... thank god we stayed somewhere expensive...
Lima, Peru ambersmith1978Hey folks, we've left Rio and on to our second port of call, Lima. Only here for 2 days 'cos we start the Machu Picchu tour tomorrow - really looking forward to it! So, our last night in Rio was one of the best! We spent the whole day strolling round and then went up Sugarloaf mountain, where you just get the most amazing views of the most amazing city - was really special. We stayed up there until dark to see it all lit up, it was just spectacular! After a great day, we packed and then decid...

Trujillo, Peru charlyvanessSo that's it. Done and dusted. And I survived! I must say I am very proud of the both of us for being able to complete it with no hiccups and a little bit of energy to spare. It was damn hard but I actually thought it would be worse (or should I say, I would be worse!). After our ordeal of getting back to the hotel, we didn't do much except sit on our ***** in our hotel room. Nick had a bit of a dodgy stomach (which we were thankful didn't hit on the actual Trail) so we just stayed put. Leavi...
Lima, Peru nickandbevGot a bus to Trujillo and met Tony for dinner (Tony is a lovely Australian guy we met on the Sipan tour who is travelling from Alaska to Argentina on his motorbike!). We had dinner at a restaurant that had the most beautiful cakes, Tony had a chocolate cake, Joan was drooling all over her black forest gateau and Rob even had a lemon meringue pie, marvellous. Bed at 12 that night, late for us! The next day wewent on a tour with Tony and a few other guys to see Huaca de Luna (the temple of the ...
Trujillo, Peru robandjoanAnd here I sit having just arrived in Cuzco less than an hour ago. Nancy´s up in our room and I came down to do a quick email check and write up a few thoughts on the past 18 hours. Before I get into the events and other thoughts, I want to say Happy Birthday to Esther, so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ES!!! I´d call, but I don´t think my oxygen and sleep-deprived mind can totally wrap itself around how to use the phone here quite yet. It´s all I can do to type on this funky keyboard with all the superfluo...

... level of crime in the city's center, we found the Plaza De Armas area quite tranquil and pleasant, with no sign of potential criminal activity. We walked a number of blocks around the city core, visited the Church of San Francisco, and enjoyed the early evening crowds of people. One of the casualties of our cancelled earlier flight had been a tour of the famous catacombs of the Church of San Francisco, which closed shortly before we arrived. But we toured ...
Lima, Peru runningboy... Lima. Leo and I spent hours teaching each other our languages. I sat with her and sometimes her husband, Orlando in the morning and before bed. We talked a lot about our countries. She was a total sweetheart. We try to communicate over MSN, but Spanglish is hard enough vocally, nevermind written. If I end up in Lima for anytime again, I´m going to try to visit Leo once again. Forgetting it was Easter, or actually not realizing that the celebration lasted the entire ...
Lima, Peru kyakawena... fallen out or off so we would need to change planes! This time we didn't have to do the full circuit of the airport, just wait in the area of the gate and an hour and a half later we walked onto the replacement plane, took our seats and were ready for lift off. Luckily there were no more diversions and - about two hours later than scheduled - we landed safely in Heathrow, where the ground staff had kindly kept the terminal open late for us. And that marks the end of our Peruvian adventure.
Lima, Peru lauravanwaas... shot injection rather than an indwelling catheter which can put the patient at risk for local anesthetic toxicity if the needle happens to be in a blood vessel instead of the epidural space, or alternatively "total spinal anesthesia" if the dura mater is accidentally punctured by the needle. They also make this a distinct possibility by using local anesthetic in the ...
