hola! from Argentina!!

Still very jet lagged, only a hour or so sleep over the last few days, am in lujan, visiting Dani and gato with Mariana and Delphi..

Spend most of the day in the pool, temporaries in the 30s with high humidity...

Haven't visited the church yet... waiting for it to cool down .... Hopefully will visit tomorrow 😊

Machu Picchu booked... and I have new shoes!!


Yes, I've made up my mind...after hitting the gym this week... I managed to do 1 hour on the cross trainer...  So a bit over 10km, at an average of 67rpm.. hopefully I'll be fit enough for the up coming pain...  ( After twisting and my back giving a rather scary crack.. a few weeks ago, the chiropractor has limited my gym to the cross trainer... And walking!!!)

Flights are all booked... Hotels/tours are booked... Altho I think the tour confirms in 3 days... Fingers crossed....

Special thanks to Cameron, at ichiropractor for getting me back to action so quickly!!!!

oooh yeah I got some new shoes... The xiaomi AliExpress specials were way way too tight... After 4 days of attempting to break them in, I gave up!!  So have gone from UK 9.5 to UK 11... Damn!!! Will see if I can stretch the AliExpress ones when I get back... Mountain warehouse..
Trekking shoes..water proof...very light weight...
Anyway.... 1 week to go!!!!  Eeep and I haven't done a test pack!!!
