Sunday, not the day of rest!

So today, we're being collected at 7:30am to begin our 4 day Jungle Trek. It's basically the only real alternative to doing the traditional Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, which is $250 more expensive due to government taxation (ecological reasons they site). Cost to one side, it actually sounds like a hell of a lot more fun than trekking for 4 days up stone paths...

For anybody interesting in the itinerary it can be found by clicking here. We didn't book with this particular company but it's the same route, and we paid $165 each, not $285! I'm sure you'll agree weather permitting that it sounds like a great 4 days. Not sure how long we'll be without the innernets, so it may be Thursday before we can make anymore posts, though hopefully sooner.

In other news, it was great to speak to a few of you today, in particular Yasmin, Lewis and Lily... our ear drums have just about recovered from their morning assault! But seriously, great to finally catch them and introduce them to the world of webcams and microphones, the dancing certainly made us smile, and Lily as composed as ever in complimenting the way I smell, thanks!

John, I was disgusted to see the score this morning... I felt dirty. Unfortunately I could hear your words in my ear 8,000 miles away.

We also sent a parcel today via Llama Mail bound for a Mr Hancock around the 15th December, instructions are enclosed... Unfortunately it cost the same amount to send as the value of the enclosed, so this wave of gifts is limited somewhat!

Oh and a big shout out to Emily's 6th form group, who I'm told are following our progress and indeed the geography department who I hear are making good use of a few pictures. Great to hear it's sparked some interest though, get planning :o)

Right, I suppose I'd better go pack some pants, we're leaving in 8 hours!
