So early flight this morning at 06.30 straight to Lima in Peru. Had a three hour wait where we were harassed by members of the airline Lan Peru staff looking for a tip for showing us where to check in....eh isn't that his job! Flight to Peru was 4 hours and got some good shots out the window of the Amazon which was cool..will put them up when I get a chance.
Next was the flight from Lima to Cusco...Cusco is at a seriously HIGH ALTITUDE...wiki it Paul you know you want to ... and we had been warned of the effects of sorecho or alltitude sickness by everyone...includes shortness of breath, heart racing, nausea etc etc....You'll all be glad to know that so far so good touhch wood I am fine...Dave however is another story and has taken to bed with serious head aches and nausea...The only cure for this is to drink coca tea and chew on coca leaves so Dave is drinking away! I am taking revenge for the lack of sympathy I got from him regarding my mozzie bites!! PS two more to add to the collection today! Can people go into shock from too many bites? I'll let you know if it happens!
We'll just be taking it easy around Cusco until Wed when we start the Inca Trail if Dave is better. Cusco beautiful city at first glance....centre of the Inca Empire...will go explore tomorrow when the ginger tosser feels up to it! Will post some pics then.
Over and out
