to the people I´m travelling with. There were supposed to be 14 on our trip but we started with six and then two more joined us at Machu Picchu. Our tour leader, Shirly, calls us `las chicas` as we´re all women. So apart from Debbie and I, there´s Despoina from Greece, Nicky from the England (who says, `I´m not being funny like` quite a bit), Jeannie from the England (who says f#&k like she´s the Queen), Poneh who is Canadian Iranian, Christine from Denmark and Mathea from the Faro Islands (population 50,000, major industry fishing, ten points to anyone who actually knows where it is).
Only Jeannie did the Inca trail with us. But we also had Atilla the hungarian australian and his wife Melissa (who were on their honeymoon) and Andrew, also from Australia. You wouldn´t believe how small the world is - Andrew used to be the Registrar at VUW (last name Neeson for any of those of you university folk with long memories). Nice chap, long winded stories (many of which were quite interesting).

Wow! Fantastic lot of information. Book me on the next tour. Do you think you got extra better cars because there were so few of you or is it always five star treament? And did you get a train ride any of the way down or all bus trip? Did the other women on the tour take the bus up to Machu Pichu or did they not do it at all? This blog idea is great - as long as it's not too much hassle for you to find a computer. We're looking forward to the next instalment. We check the itinerary every day to see where you're at. Love M & M
