Shivers down the thighbone...

Would you believe I'm coming down with another bloody cold!?! I've been to the pharmacist and got some strong pills (only sold in sets of three, god knows what's in them). It's not helped by the almost non-stop rain happening here in Quito. I know it's the rainy season but please.... And the hostel is a smoker's paradise, there is literary nowhere to sit (comfortably or otherwise) that isn't in a smokey haze with a side serving of overflowing ashtrays.

Luckily the internet cafe I've been using is non-smoking and relatively warm, and I've finally managed to upload all the photos from Peru. The Nazca lines need to be enlarged in order to see the 'lines' but I promise you they are there (somewhere). I was worried by my inability to upload while in Peru, so much so that I went out and bought four more 2 gigabyte memory cards for the camera - well at least I won't run out of memory in the Galapagos Islands!

I've managed to escape chinese flu and cold during my last trip, even if was the worst weather in 50 years but now I have an unpleasent half cold- not enough to stay in bed but running nose and cold shivers...in Italy supposed to be the sunshine country.
