Trekkie Travels

I MADE IT!!!

I made it safely to Cusco after 2 days travelling and am very happy to be
here.
I had absolutely no problems with the trip here, everything went very
smoothly. I got an upgrade to business class from Amsterdam - first time
that has ever happened to me and it made a big difference. I had a
fantastic last night of salsa at Bar Risa but I got stepped on with a
stilletto and my foot was very swollen before I left home. It´s now black
and purple but because I was able to sit with it up for over 14 hours the
swelling is down and the pain is almost gone.
I sat next to a guy from Barcelona whose family live in Lima and we chatted
a bit in Spanish - I was surprised how much I managed to understand, his
english was as limited as my spanish, but it seems to be coming quite
naturally, maybe it`s all the spanish music I listen to!
The hotel in Lima was very nice but all I wanted to do was sleep as I´d had
only 2 hours in 3 days. 10 hours sleep got me caught up and meant that I´ve
now adapted to the time difference, we are 6 hours behind the UK.
The house where I`m staying is very nice and the family are lovely - very
friendly and welcoming. There is one other language student at the house,
Lucy is a young English girl and very nice.
