The first 3 hours and 125 km's started very flat and uneventful and we stupidly thought we might knock out some seriously distance today, but seeing as its tOwn us 7 hours to do the same distanceI shall explain once I have wifi but never uunderestimate the amount of obstacles driving in Peru can thro ** some text is missing **
