Back home

Well, I'm back in the UK now and am surprisingly awake considering I had about 3 hours sleep for the past 3 nights and spent the last 2 nights on planes. Journey home was a bit of a pain, flight was delayed leaving Lima and I got seated next to a talkative American. Then was supposed to have a stopover of several hours in transit at Newark, but they didn't seem too bothered about keeping me in the transit lounge so I checked my baggage straight in when I arrived, and headed off into NYC for a few hours to do some shopping. However it was a really really hot day and I got too worn out walking around in the heat so didn't do as much as planned, but got some great presents for people who have birthdays later in the year... stuff that you can only get in America and that sort of thing. Newark airport was pretty rubbish for shopping when I got back there, so I've ended up coming home with spare money for about the first time ever, think I'll put it towards the next trip! Arrived back this morning, and haven't had a sleep yet although almost nodded off in the bath earlier. I've spent the day doing laundry and things, and trying to catch up with what's been going on in the UK - I'm well behind with Big Brother and will have to go and buy Heat magazine tomorrow to get up to date. Photos have come out surprisingly well (mostly), from the one above you can see that Machu Picchu really does look like the postcards and there really are llamas walking all over the place. If anyone wants to have a go at photoshopping out the bloke in the yellow shirt who got in the way, that would be most welcome too!

I'm lucky enough to not be back at work til next weekend so tomorrow's job is paying the credit cards, putting the photos on the web, and trying to get organised again - as I'm working all over the place now I really ought to stick all my shifts on a big calendar so I don't forget any. Can't think of anything profound to say now, other than Peru is great and I had an excellent time. I'll post a link to the pictures once I've got them online. Night!
