Up early and out to visit the Sacred Valley of the INcas. Was really interesting and saw many ruins of the incas, different building types and great panaramic views. Loads of steps again, why are there so many big steps in Peru.

Friday 31st Oct
Gopt up really early and at the airport at 8am for flight to the Jungle. flight was delayed so i went shopping at airport and at an exhibition thought i would have a look through some weavings and I fell in love with one so bought it. Still feel pleased thinking about it, it will be a really lovely memory of Peru and everytime i look at it it will remindd me of here.
Eventually caught flight to Puerto Maldonado and got on a jungle bus to the canoe place (motorised and set off on our 2 hour journey to our eco lodge down the Madre De Dios river. A lovely ride to a lovely place with the main lodge, swimming pool and lots of little lodges on stilts. our lodge was puma. no hot walter and all electricity off at 10pm and not on again till 7am. had lunch and dived in pool what a shock, i thought it would be heated, will not make that mistake again.
Went on a trip to Monkey Island and saw loads of monkeys and tamerins. in the evening we went caiman spotting in dark, bit like rabbiting. where do they all go to during the day i wonder. after dinner we sat in bar for a while then so knackered went early to bed. never in my life have i had so many early nights and early mornings.
