Went to Machu Picchu, got up at 3.30am and trekked through the jungle in the dark to get there for sunrise. The mountain is very steep and I am quite unfit. Impressed I managed it ( Read more... )

I'm off to Peru.

On Sunday.

To teach dance workshops to disillusioned Andean youths.

I've bought a guide book, flights and insurance. Should see me ok.
