Yo As I have been given the enviable task of writing about the fascinating Pre-Colombian Art Museum that we visited, I couldn't wait to get going... (tongue firmly in cheek at the moment!) The museum was full of old-school sculptures which caught the eye and reminded us of people from home (pictures to follow soon - you can make your own judgements as to who is who). The placards are in English and Spanish and tell the stories and traditions of the pre-Colombia...

Hi all, Have been meaning to put up the Inca photos but have yet to find a decent computer that will actually do this successfully, so please be patient! We've been in Santiago for nearly 2 weeks now and have been taking things a little easier both in an attempt to conserve energy and funds. Well my dodgy foot has been playing up big time since the Inca trail and half the time I can be seen hobbling the streets of Santiago looking dodgy as hell and further maki...

We've been back in normal civilisation now for a couple of days and feel super fit after all the walking (40km/25miles) over 4 days at altitude. I must say I didn't think that we would survive the altitude as we struggle...

Greetings all! We survived the Inca Trail with everything in tact! (Apart from the odd muscle strain) And it was an amazing sight to behold! The trail itself was fairly challenging, but you could take it at your own pace, which made it a lot easier. The views we experienced along the way were nothing short of breathtaking. It was impossible to take a bad picture en route and we were extremely lucky with the weather. When we arrived at Machu Picchu we were greet...
