Up early with the sunrise (no curtains), mozzie net worked a treat. Spent a long day on a motorized canoe with many other people. Scenery was stunning, and stopped for a quick lunch in a small village and ate (what I found out later) was Jungle rat ... Read more >

This really must rank as the ultimate insult. My worthy plan to study Spanish for 4 weeks then to bring a little joy to the poor orphans of Cusco whilst simultaneously gaining spiritual fulfilment myself has gone horribly awry. I have spared everyone ... Read more >
