Gosh I’ve been a busy little bee! I am completely cream crackered! It’s a bit of a struggle to remember everything but I will do my best to fill you in on the highlights.

When they finally opened the office at about 11am we were waiting for them. The had 650 Bolivianos of our money! It turns out that our guide had a bike accident in the way to meet us. Probably a good thing he never made it to work. If he can’t ride his bike to work how is he An email Home, La Paz to Cusco
