Blue sky cracking and it makes me believe

Okay. Sunday afternoon and I’m sat in an internet cafe in Cusco. It’s not a bad place but for some reason my camera won’t connect at all and so no photos. Annoying. I’ve spent about an hour fighting with the machine but of course it’s in Spanish and it’s locked down a little so I’ve had no joy at all.

Aside from having a backlog of photos, I’ve got a backlog to get up here (I’ve even started writing again!). With luck I’ll have a power cable in 5 days and then I’ll be back. I’ll be much happier then! I’m feeling a tad down at the moment and writing would be good. This net cafe is nosiy and hot and I have a few things to do before dinner and so I don’t want to get stuck in now. Also I have three entries saved on my desktop and I want to get them up before I get too far ahead of myself.

Tomorrow it’s onto Puno and then 2 days and nights on Lake Titicaca where we stay on one of the many man-made islands (floating reeds). This should be good but the significant downside is a complete lack of electricity and phones and radios. Not good! With luck I’ll be back in Puno sometime on Wednesday afternoon at which point I run for the nearest internet cafe to find out if the Americans have fucked up again.

Then Thursday it’s another new country (and a walk across a border - yay!) and off to one of the capitals of Boliva, La Paz.

For now it’s the pub for dinner and some well deserved drinks.
