So, patient viewers, you may have noticed that I have not written in a while. Please forgive my tardiness, the reason has quite sinmply been......I have been sick. Boring, no? I did make the mistake once of sitting and writing, but it turned into whingeing and venting, and ended with me wishing the world death.
So I waited until I was in a happier space where I could look back and laugh at my unhappy head space.
So Dave and I left Cusco and arrived in Lima. Somewhere in transit I was struck down with the mother of all flu´s and chest infections. So I paid for the privelige of having my own room with bless, a TV, so I could hack away into the wee hours without disturbing Dave with my less than sunny demeanor. In my delerium of pain and coughing I had a revelation. I am travelling with the man version of Pollyanna, I call him PollyPeter. Can you imagine it, I felt and surely looked filthy, wishing someone else to be as pitiful and in pain as me. But PollyPeter would have none of it, he briskly walked hours a day seeing nothing much in particular that I could gather, but constantly everything was ´fantastic´, ámazing´, ´beautiful´. All I could see was the not so great. E.G. We ordered a KFC meal, they came and asked five minutes later what we had ordered. Dave got his meal, I had my chips and drink and was waiting for my burger. 10 minutes later I had to ask where it was, they looked at me and said, ¨úmm, 3 minutes?. I looked around, there was NO-ONE in the KFC and there was 6 FREAKIN STAFF behind the counter and they wanted me to wait another 3 minutes? I had an aneurism in KFC. A weird point to make my stand against slow service and miscommunication, but made it I did. As a favour to both of us I remained in hibernation until I felt better.
Then we came to Santiago, Chile, and being that my health is now good we have been traipsing round having fun for four days. It is a beautiful 33 degrees and I am getting some colour! But that will be nothing compared to the sun I am gonna get in Rio de Jainiro tomorrow!!!
