cuzco...

i´ve now been awake for 36 hours. i´m light headed and naeusas from the altitude. i´ve got to get some mate´del coca into me to beat the altitude sickness. i feel like i´ve got the worst hang over ever. this is not OK! but on the up side, i am in cuzco which is the kick off point to machu pichu and the sacred valley. i´m heading to machu pichu on sunday, and it´s costing a big old stack of cash. am slightly startingto worry about my finances. i seem to be about $300 short, i think there may have been a problem with my last bit of pay from bellarine, hopefully it´s just still being transfered. but i somehowsense this might be a bit of an idle dream. anyway, if things start to look a bit too skint i´ll head down to santiago and crash out with sonya and vanessa. i know they´d be wrapped by that.

anyway, i´ve got to hit the hay,just thought i´dlet you know i´m alive and well(ish!),

talk you you soon ay?
love,
simone x

Hrm. In an effort to better understand your trip and what you're going through, I'm going to go down to the video store an re-hire those South American documentries of 'How The Emperor Got His Groove Back' and 'El Dorado'.

I think they may have mentioned Machu Pichu or used words that sounded like that anyway.

Also, in an effort to irritate you and everyone I know, I'm going to start telling people you're travelling to Macho Pikachu and adamantly deny pronouncing it wrong.

Anyway, take care and watch out for scary looking priests who want to sacrifice you to their angry, angry gods in an effort to make those damned Conquistadors go away.

P.S. Take a picture of a llama for me. I shall name his Cusco.
