Peru

So we made it safely, 4 flights and 35 hours later... Our plane from Lima to Cuzco was delayed 9 hours so we had time to meet some very interesting people. The flight to Cuzco was by far the best flight either one of us had been on. There were several occasions where it felt as if the plane dropped 100 feet in 2 seconds, people where either crying or laughing, and as soon as we landed, people applauded and cheered. We have met some awesome people who were travelling to Peru for the very first time as well. Everyone seems very friendly here, but not the "I am so friendly I want to rob you" friendly, more of the genuine kind. For those who have been to Vietnam, Cuzco is very similar to Dalat in climate, in other words, it is perfect. One rain in the afternoon and then after that a 18/6 temperature range. I messed up with the hostel and because of that we are staying in a room with 4 beds, all of which are ours. There is also an issue with the hostel because I only booked 3 nights and that is one night short. So we will try to book one more night because our tour has us down to pick us up at that hostel. I guess that is all for now, the point of this entry is that we have arrived safe and sound and are heading off to Machu Picchu in 3 days.

It's good to hear that you made it in one piece! And that you get to rotate between four beds!
