hi guys, so i am now in peru. I crossed the border from Lake Titicaca. We had to put the clocks back one hour. I took a bus all the way to cusco & spent 4 days touring the city & of course visiting machu picchu!

It is a really nice city, very busy & lots of Cathedrals & ruins to see. There is also a huge statue of Christ looking down on the city of Cusco.

The weather is still good. A little cooler at night but hot & sunny in the daytime. the hostel i stayed in was full of Israeli´s & i felt like i had switched countries!

I then took a bus straight to Lima & am staying in a real nice area called Miraflores. The hostel is one block away from the beach which is very popular for surfers Carnival in Cusco

The area is very busy, full of nice hotels & casino´s & people on the streets selling anything & everything they can.

I went to the city today to see the change of the guards which was good, with an orchestra & marching men it lasted about 45mins.

Tomorrow i take a bus for 38hours to Equador, Quito. I do not fly out of Lima till the 26th May so have decided to explore South America a little more.

Take care, till next time Jo.
