Buenas noches from Canterbury College in Peru

Hola all,

Well we made it after five flights, flight delays and some difficulties talking to the locals, however, everyone is enjoying themselves very much. We boarded in Brisbane with a flight straight to Sydney, after sorting out our boarding passes we continued on our journey to New Zealand where we waited for our 10 hour flight to Santiago, Chile, where we stayed for 8 hours before our next flight, where some members struggled extremely with their first interaction with Spanish which resulted in some completely different lunch to what they set out to get {Brenton}
. Then to his relief some clever Spanish speaking legend ordered donuts for everyone, so we thank Andrew for that. Natasha did a top job organizing our accommodation for our first night in Cuzco, so could we all give her a round of applause.  Next flight was a 5 hour flight to Lima, where we were to stay for 10 hours in the airport, here we met the person to take all our donations to the community project. A lot of the members gained a few hours sleep however some members decided to stay up the entire time in Lima. Our next flight was to Cuzco which was our final destination, however there was a 2 hour delay for our flight, so some more team members caught some sleep.  After a 1 and a half hour flight we arrived at our final destination. We spent our day in Cuzco today {Friday 18th of June} changing our budget to Solas and getting to know the area.
We were exposed to many different cultural experiences, there is a festival approaching and there are many different activities happening all around Cuzco.
We had a very delicious dinner at a restaurant, which was a good changed from Airport meals. Everyone is getting along well and is working well as a team. It is 8.30 p.m. on Friday, we are extremely tired so we will be off. Talk again soon.

Buenas noches.
