Eventually I'm here in Peru (well I've been here a while but the altitude sickness, and catching up on the sleep I missed on the journey have occupied a lot of my time). It is a hell of a long way to Peru, even by jet aircraft. It took about 32 hours in all, half of it in cattle class, half of it hanging around in airports - neither is much fun.
Upon arrival at Cuzco the sun was shining, and the journey started to seem worth it. Then the altitude sickness kicked in and I started to doubt the wisdom of all this. In the nick of time I was introduced to cocoa tea (all perfectly legal), and I am starting to feel a bit better.
Tomorrow at about 5am I'm off on the Inca Trail, so if I survive that I blog again.
No pictures at the moment as the computer here doesn't have the necessary bits.

There's nothing to say yet, I just wanted to see what this looks like.
