KATIE Well, here we are in the Cayman Islands - and what a beautiful place! We have been thoroughly spoiled by Nick and Janet and are very lucky to be staying with people so generous and also with some cool friends and a wicked boat! Lots of 'boating mayhem' as promised yesterday and another day to come today. All I can say is it's just as well there are no drink driving limits on boats! We did a spot of (unfortunately unsuccessful) fishing, drank champagne am...

FLORIDA - SAT 18th OCTOBER to WED 22nd OCTOBER KATIE Well, as I mentioned, the organization at Peruvian airports is worse than Miami which is saying something so we ended up walking straight onto both the plane at Cusco and Lima - very efficient use of time!

SATURDAY 11TH OCTOBER KATIE Well, all the best intentions of meeting the group for a nice social dinner went out the window when I realised I had left my wallet in the internet cafe when doing the last update. We didn't realise for an hour or so, and by the time we sped of...

JAMES We are no longer in Cusco, but we still haven't got round to updating the blog properly since before the trek, so we are leaving the location as Cusco until we get round to that! There is so much to tell! It took us 3 hours tonight just to finally get all the photos loaded on! They won't do any justice to the stunning scenery, but will hopefully give you a flavour of the fantastic time we have had. Anyway, we arrived back in Florida last night, and Miami ...
