we couldn't keep our eyes open! The funny thing is, the locals here walk and do things slowly all the time. I guess, in general, it's not a good idea to do things quickly in Cuzco.

The next day we took the Vistadome train to Machu Picchu. The train ride was spectacular. We could look at the landscape from the viewing windows on the walls and, wait for it, the roof of the train! After being so impressed with Cuzco and the train ride, I didn't think I could see anything better. But Machu Picchu was something else! It's not hard to see why it was hidden for hundreds of years before it was rediscovered in 1911 – it definitely isn't easy to get to. We spent the day walking about the ruins, and basically enjoying its incredible location – you can see the Andes from there!

The next few days we spent travelling from Peru to Venezuela, which is where I'm writing from at the moment. Venezuela is beautiful, too. On Monday, Mum, Dad and I (Lou was too scared – typical girl!) went on a helicopter ride over Angel Falls. For those of you who flunked geography, Angel Falls are the highest waterfalls in the world! They're 979 metres high! The view took our breath away. Dad says it's the most exciting thing he's ever done and I'd have to agree. You look down, and see all the wild water. It makes you feel that you're the first person who has ever seen it. Amazing!

Hi all!

Well, we've been in South America for a week now and it's incredible! We flew into Lima last week, and then got a connecting flight to Cuzco*. That's the nearest town to Machu Picchu. Cuzco was amazing. Did you know, it's about 3400 metres above sea level? It's also really pretty and the locals all dress the way you see them on postcards – with multi-coloured clothes and hats. Awesome!

The guide told us to rest for at least a day to acclimatize. Apparently, because Cuzco is so high up, you can get altitude sickness. He also told us not to run or do too much. That wasn't hard; after such a long flight,

It's actually not easy to see the falls in any other way. They're in the middle of the jungle and they're so high that most of the water turns into mist before it reaches the ground! It's the mist that makes it difficult to get close enough to see the falls from the ground. That's why we did a helicopter tour.

We're going to hang around here (Canaima National Park) for another day or so and then, on Friday, we're going to Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). We're going to go on a cruise down the Amazon. Can't wait!

In Rio, I'll update my blog so watch this space for more about our trip ...

Bye for now,
