... my first night in Peru, I will be doing a quick stop on the way at Houston and will try to update the blog then.

At 6 am tomorrow morning I will be meeting with 24 trekkers that will be taking part in this trip, each and everyone of us for our own charity and some for very personal reasons.

We sped onwards, counting the miles. Last check-in was 8.15. We raced into the port by the skin of our teeth. We handed over our documents at 8.12 and by 8.15 we were on the boat and the doors were closing.
