This will be a short e-mail, although I have been writing my journal in more detail I am really suffering with the altitude at the moment. Arrived in Cusco today and crikey it really hit me! Nearly got stuck in London when my aunty locked her car keys in the boot at Stanstead (!) but got to Heathrow OK. The flight from Amsterdam was 12 and a half hours – a bit different than the 6 and a half I had thought! (I had not added on the 6 hours time difference for Peru).

 

Lima was very grey. It is at sea level so there was no problem with the altitude. We spent last night there. Am really hoping that I will adjust over the next 3 days before we climb too high. Just going upstairs is such effort! The group is really nice and we are all helping one another already which is lovely.

 

I will attempt to write more soon.

 

Sending lots of love to everyone who reads this!
