I cant believe I wrote you a great blog and the blo ---- comp crashed,
so trying again. but never as good
I started with Oh my god, Oh my god, Bike ride it was like mountain
climbing with bikes. It was the hardest day i have ever had &
thankfully even the others said the same.
We where droped of an hour from Cusco, with an amazing downhill run
ahead, but guess what no thats to easy.We where taken across fields &
within minutes up to our necks in mud with cows and sheep looking on.
That was the easy part, we went up mountains across fields & an
occasional road, but plenty of mud & fantastic views.
The whole day of cycling was approx 7 hours covering 25 miles(42Km) &
plenty of blood sweat and tears. Even when you had a downhill run it
was either to steep ,full of rocks or just plain dangerous. I got a
pucher which almost put me over the cliff edge thankfully it wasnt my
time and threw myself the other way to end up with just a bad shin
abrasion, plus a few tears. Thankfully no one saw those so managed to
get myself pulled together and get on with it, as nothing could be done
so get on with it.
It was a great relief to see the bus eventually at the end of a very
long stretch of road that one day i will share all the pics with you.
Sunday was a bit different, quad biking, yes I bottled out of my own
bike after a few practises and decided to be a passenger. It was a good
choice as the terrain was pretty tough once again, mud and mountains
which looked like they had craters running through them. but once again
the scenery was amazing and it was a great day. Finished with a swim in
a pool in the middle of what seemed like a poor area. It was a great
way to end a hard weekend.
Well have been in here two hours now so must finish, couldnt upload
photos again but some off them have gone onto facebook. Which is a
shame as have to keep recycling the old pics on this site.
I have a busy week with School ,orphanage, san Juan hospital, Pub
Quiz, salsa Tues/Thurs & cooking that just leaves friday so will let
you no. Not sure if Im on another trip at weekend but watch this space.
All well here and survived another week. Off to make purses & necklaces
with paper. Plus teach english !!!!!
Speak to you later. xxxx Have a good week. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jackie Oh my god Bobby what a time you are having you will be so fit when you get back. People pay ££££ to have a mud bath and all this biking you will be hurtling along Southsea front this summer. It is a lot sunier in the UK now but freezing cold, but is nice to wrap up and walk. Happy blue petering . Going out with Nic tomorrow night so we will be having a good chat about you and raise a glass to abscent friends. LOL xxx
Nikki C You're supposed to be keeping safe, not chucking yourself down a mountain! Glad you are in one piece. Perhaps a more sedate trip is needed this weekend? News our end, Tyler is finally riding his bike without stabilisers and has also got a Golden Award at school! Apparently it's the highest award you can get (they go out weekly) so he's really proud. Mackenzie can write his rather long name by himself! He's a smart cookie too. Take Care Nikki xxxx
