Traveller tip....take a watch

Its a bit soon to be typing up another blog post, but since i have a three hour wait at a bus station i cannot think of anything better to do! I panicked Ross into thinking it was 1pm and our bus was leaving at 2, so after a quick brekkie and a tense and pretty erratic taxi ride, we arrived at the bus station only to realise we are still on Brazil time, and are in fact, not in Brazil anymore.

It was a sad goodbye to Brazil, we spent our last 4 nights in Rio with some Aussies and English people we had met before. We didnt want to leave, but it was good to end it on a high. Ross decided to do a favela tour on the last day, which he said was interesting. I decided to accidentally fall asleep on the beach and burn my face. So we flew to Lima at 6 in the morning and arrived in the best hostel I have seen by far. Right in the centre of town, rooftop games area and bar, really nice beds and rooms etc etc. Lima itself is ok, we were told by some travellers before that Cuzco is where to go, and that Lima is a bit of a stopover city. I actually quite like it, but couldn´t spend a lot of time here. Its so cheap here compared to Brazil! We went to China town last night for dinner and had wonton soup and a main course with rice with a drink for around 2 pounds! We only stayed the one night because we need to head to Cuzco in good time for the JUNGLE TRAIL TO MACCHU PICCHU!!! Its a 22 hour bus ride yaaaaay. We are actually strangely excited about it.

My hair is a lost cause.

My next blog will be after we have done the trek!! Very excited but also kind of nervous. I am not a trekker. Wish us luck! xxx
