Barker A - Peru

Hey all back at home,

This is the blog from yesterday (Sat 12th)

This is just a quick update on what we did today. It was an aclimitisation day, which ment that we had a very late wake up (about 10 oclock) to account for some of the jetlag. The day was largely spent shopping around for various gifts, with part of the group booking the bus trip for tomorrow. The afternoon was a trip to the museum to see some of the pre-incan civilisations. The night ended with a very nice dinner to an italian restraunt, and a nice early night for us all.

Hola from today (Sun 13th)

Hey everyone from the Barker A group.

Today was a very interesting day for us, we began with an early morning in Huaraz going to the Chiva ruins. This required a 3.5 hour trip through rough mountain terrains to reach the place. It was amazing and so many pictures on the trip, and the ruins were an awsome sight, we had fun crawling through some of the undergrond tunnels around the ruins.

Anyway, we're off on our 5 day trek tomorrow, on the third day we hit 4, 700m so it will be a real challange for us all. But we will pull though and look back on it with good memories.
