Mood: OK I suppose
After saying goodbye to Mandy and Tim on the 26th of June, I spent the day wondering around town, introverted and sad, waiting for my American friend Patrick to get back from Machu Pichu so we could organise our trip, hopefully, back to Bolivia. BLOCKADES ARE APPARENTLY OVER.
So, thats just what happened, we ended up leaving 2 days later.... really glad to be leaving Cusco, had overstayed my visit by about 4 days.... ready to leave. Off to Copacabana on Lake Titicaca on the Bolivian side....YaYYYYYY.

Wayne:
Off to Nasca, Mandy, Patrick (american), Rachel (american/isreali), Jason (Canada) and myself ready to take on the world after our days of doing nothing in Cusco.
We arrived in Nasca at about 8am and by 10 we were climbing into this rickety 5 seater plane ready to fly over what is supposed to be a wonder of the world. (How were these amazingly huge drawings made, especially since they can only be seen from the sky? I think with minatures and rope, but hey.).
