Justine and Dylan’s Travel Blog

Well, in Cusco (Peru) now. Have recovered from trip over here (47hrs door to door from Melbourne… and who said travel can’t be fun) and have vaguely acclimatised to the altitude (approx 3300m). With that out of the way I’m actually quite enjoying being quite the tourist again. Which you know you are when

• You struggle to understand a single word the locals say (although also had that issue in Glasgow)
• You struggle to identify most foods at the markets. And heading to the local ”supermarket” doesn’t improve things.
• You can’t help but giggle childishly at your Do Not Disturb sign (which reads No Molestar) even though you already knew that one from previous travels.

Pretty standard stuff so far really, it’s just that it’s been a while.

One thing that was cool though was watching the Brazil – Peru game the other day on TV (1-1 btw for anyone following world cup qualifiers). Didn’t understand a word the commentators said but when Peru scored the equaliser, not a whole lot of translating was needed.
