So we made it to Lima, in Peru, finally! This post is from Nina cos Glenn has crashed early.

It was a bit of a random flight cos glenn was upgraded, but I wasn´t (don´t ask) which I am totally gonna milk for the rest of the journey (guess who gets to carry all the bags for the next 3 months). Really good flight, but think I am turning into mum as found out all about the guy i was sitting next to on the flight (works for an asparagus company, apparently Peru is the second biggest producer of asparagus in the world after China who knew?).

We are only staying in Lima for one night at this really nice hostal called hostal Victor. I have used my rudimentary spanish briefly, but the proprietor speaks really good english (thank god). We are catching an internal flight up to Cuzco tomorrow and the plan is to stay there for a few days before doing the inca trail. We have already met a couple of other travellers who have been round south america and are heading home soon. They gave us plenty of tips.

Generally, pretty excited and can´t wait to get up to cuzco!
