Hi Saul,
Yes we are safely back on home turf and unfortunately already back at work!!!!
Unfortunately I returned to find out my grandfather has passed away so I have been a little busy.
We just wanted to say we had a fantastic time in Peru (except for the altitude sickness in Puno - I needed some oxygen!!!). The whole trip was very well organized and the accommodation was beautiful. I would say it has been my favourite holiday to date! I would recommend Peru and your company to anyone who wanted to visit South America. We haven't had a chance to look through our photos but when we do we will tell you a bit more about our trip and hopefully send you some shots.
Once again, thank you very much for a truly memorable experience.
