YOU DON'T NEED EYES TO SEE YOU NEED VISION.....
Well hello there you wonderful people. Just a quickie (ooo-eerr) to let you know I'm alive. This is the 1st day of my 'big adventure' and the first day following the nightmare that was my journey from Heathrow to Lima, Peru....or should I refer to 'nightmares' as 'adventures' from now on?
Taking the positive from a 26 hour journey, I randomly found myself in a bar in Maimi chatting to 3 Actuaries from London, as you do..... Anyway, you guys, (you know who you are!) thank you so much for letting me tag along with you during the journey yesterday, for the entertaining conversation, the teachings about the theory Vs the realism of the past time that is 'soggy buscuit-ing' (mum, don't ask!), for seeing me to my hotel in the middle of the night after my transfer failed to turn up, not to mention the half hour bizarre and crazy conversation (we speak no Spanish, he spoke no English) with the cab driver as we attempted to barter me onto your transfer! We all learned the universal language that is waving dollars and pointing a lot. Thanks guys, you're stars.
I was sat next to an American guy on the 2nd flight over who was most interested in my trip (although I was too tired to talk about it! Paul, Julie and Lucy - can you believe that!) Anyway, I gave him the basics and he just kept repeating 'wow, awesome, thats sooo neat, hope you don't get killed'. 'eerr, yeah thanks for that' she says reaching for her i'pod. Never before have those nice eye masks they give you looked so attractive. However, he did give me his mother in laws number in Peru and said that if I was really stranded then I should call.
So all in all, out of yesterdays 'adventure' I did receive a lot of faith in humanity and this is just the beginning. (don't worry mum, I still wont trust anyone) :-)
Today, I'm chilling and getting my head together, tomorrow I fly to Cuzco and my initial tour begins (for 18 days) and what an awesome tour it is going to be.
Thanks to everyone for your messages already, it's made my transition away from everything I know all the more easier knowing that you're just a few typed words or a text messege away from me.
I'll keep you posted, stay in touch, love ya xxx
