We have had little time to make contact. Our first days were long and well organized with no time to write or edit photos. Then contact with the internet was patchy, slow and frequently interrupted. We have been on some of the most beautiful but remote parts of the earth. So far it has been wonderful. The plane is very comfortable and we have drinks, an hour’s lecture, dinner, another hour’s lecture and that makes a five hour flight nothing at all. We are currently refueling in Tahiti on our way from Rapa Nui (Easter Island) to Samoa and hope to post this tonight in Samoa. Our lecturers are wonderful and at each stop we are in small groups with local guides with a wireless communication system so we can wander and listen to them at the same time. We will not be able to get into Tibet so we were offered 3 China alternatives and have chosen Lijiang. We have only a brief stop in Samoa before we are off to Australia. What a blast!!!
Here is a short video of Cusco and Machu Picchu.

What an amazing trip so far. Keep up the great blog. It is easy to visualize the beautiful remains of Machu Picchu but the 3000 species of potatoes is not so easy to picture.
hope your having a wonderful time and enjoying the weather and hope that you'll take some photos. No drinking beer in your hats - APRIL FOOLS!! And Mum - hope you play an April fools on Dad and throw him in the ocean!
Pumpkin gives you a hug and kiss and so do I.
I love you.
Love Kristi

Wow. Looks fantastic guys! I am, however, disappointed that you didn't eat critter in Peru. C'mon, get into that local culture!
