I am only a few days away from leaving on a trip that I have been dreaming of for many years
As I was contemplating the trip a few days ago, I remembered my first memory of Peru - from my childhood when I used to read the adventures of Paddington Bear. He was from a place called "Darkest Peru" and as a child, South America seemed an exotic place.
And even today, it still does.
I feel like a girl, about to embark on a GAP year holiday....never mind the fact that it is only a five week trip, and that I'm about 30 years older. The backpack is packed, and thanks to my ultralight camping friends, it weighs only 8kg!!
I'm not sure whether I have room for Paddington Bear.....
