Rayne in Peru: Onwards to Arequipa
http://rayneinperu.blogspot.com/2004/10/onwards-to-arequipa.html
Thursday, October 21, 2004. I certainly wouldnt say that the Nazca lines were disappointing, because they certainly werent, but they were distinctly smaller than I expected them to be! I guess thats like every person who goes to New York to see the statue of liberty and says "gosh shes only small". Seeing things in photos you lose all sense of proportion, and photos of the nazca lines dont take into account that the pampa theyre sat on is absolutely huge! Posted by Rayne at 9:39 am.

Rayne in Peru: Made it!!!!!
http://rayneinperu.blogspot.com/2004/10/made-it.html
Thursday, October 28, 2004. Nonetheless we all made it in one piece (and I m proud to report I was the first to the top of Dead Woman s pass! And have photos to prove it which will follow soon. We all kept journals on the trek (albeit mine in a pretty rough sketchy note form! So will be filling in the blanks here in the near future, but for now I m off for a relaxing day in Cusco and hopefully a massage to ease our aching muscles! Posted by Rayne at 9:34 am.

Rayne in Peru: Vive el Peru!
http://rayneinperu.blogspot.com/2004/10/vive-el-peru.html
Monday, October 18, 2004. If theres one word to describe this country from the air, it would be "brown". Yeah I know everything looks kinda brownish from the air, but this place really. It does mean we get the full attention of the "postales" sellers (postcards) and even made friends with a policeman who proclaimed that I was "beautiful". yep I could get to like this place! But no, we havent bought any postcards yet so dont expect any winging there way through the post, Ill get round to that later. Next ...

Rayne in Peru: The White City
http://rayneinperu.blogspot.com/2004/10/white-city.html
Friday, October 22, 2004. Hmm Not too impressed with the computers here in Arequipa, as they just lost my mammoth entry for today! Luckily this city is gorgeous so just about makes up for it. It has a different feel from the other cities we ve been in so far, cleaner, whiter and greener. Built by the spanish it has fantastic colonial architecture, all built in the white sillar stone from the El Misti volcano that towers above the city. Posted by Rayne at 8:51 am.

Rayne in Peru: Ready, Steady...
http://rayneinperu.blogspot.com/2004/10/ready-steady.html
Friday, October 15, 2004. So, after months of thinking 'Shall I? I've really not got much choice any more as there's only 23 hours to go! I leave tomorrow (Saturday) night from Heathrow, flying to Lima via Sao Paulo. From there we travel down the coast via Nazca and Arequipa, and up to Cusco where we acclimatise before facing the trek. I get back to London on 31st October, no doubt tired but hopefully triumphant! To all those who haven't yet sponsored me, shame on you! Posted by Rayne at 11:25 pm. I'm su...

Rayne in Peru: Nazca
http://rayneinperu.blogspot.com/2004/10/nazca.html
Tuesday, October 19, 2004. A relatively quick update from me as the rest of the group are in the pub which is clearly a much better place to be than on the internet whilst on holiday! I ll just have to fill in the gaps later when I ve got more time, as we ve managed to fit a hell of a lot into the last 24 hours. So here s the bare bones of it. Where there s a marine nature reserve housing thousands upon thousands of birds, plus a few sealions lazing around on the rocks. A load of crap to be honest...
