Arrived in Cuzco, Peru after 4 days of trying - first thing that hits you is how freezing it is! Being winter at such a high altitude really takes it out of you. Out of breath after any set of stairs what-so-ever and thats not because of all the cream-cakes and pies I eat (apparently).
Once I had arrived, I went out searching straight away for some Incas, Nobby Solano´s family and Paddington Bear. Still to find any. Although I did see a small bear in a duffel coat, only turned out to be Paddington´s cousin. Shame.
One thing that does suck is the fact that the airline don´t really know where my rucksack is. After wearing the same clothes continuously for 4 days you begin to develop some interesting odours, especially if you don´t have a toothbrush. But fear not! I have some cool new Peruvian threads and 2 toothbrushes now as me and Em double bought. Oh yeah, I met up with Em! That was nice, my faithful travelling buddy, all smiles at the airport while I swayed about due to lack of oxygen. Magic.
We are due to travel deep in the amazon on sunday and if my bag still isn´t here we´re gonna go anyway. Who needs luggage right? I ain´t letting "the man" ruin my holiday! Never ever ever ever fly with Aerolineas Argentina. They´re poo. Conversation with the airline went something like this...
Me - Excuse me, where is my rucksack?
Them - It´s either been eaten or burnt.
Me - Will I ever get I back?
Them - We are incompetent you know sir?
Me - Clearly, can I make a complaint or fill in some forms or something?
Them - I´m sorry sir, but none of us actually speak any English.
Someone could have at least told me they speak spanish? I would´ve learnt some.
