Becky got the all clear from the dentist, eye specialist etc after a whole day of running around Lima going to various clinics with me as chief translator. The dentists dont have their own x-ray machines here. You have to go somewhere else for that. Anyway Big relief. Her face is almost healed but shes still exhausted from the accident and the quake.
We haven´t missed the road trip though. The whole group is still all here. Partying hard has meant that noone was able to get up during the day to rent a van. Just so you get an idea, they were supposed to be through Ecuador and in Colombia weeks ago! The scout leader in me wants to take over but this trip is about me being more ´go with the flow´and less of a control freak. But at 6pm today when everyone was flaked out watching a movie, I couldn´t resist slipping off to a local call centre to ring a load of agencies. Weve had a little AGM and I think as a result of my endevaours, me might actually leave tomorrow (or maybe the day after, because even though I thought we were having a quiet night, everybody is skulling wine at the hostel bar). I need to watch myself cause although Id love the unofficial group leader role, I feel that would be taking a step back in my progress!

Damn, i just read your 4 month novel, (that killed a couple of hours of work), I can't beleive you've managed to do so much stuff, it sounds so cool! However, I can't help but feel I'd have gotten more out of the boat trip with the monkeys and caimen and the giant rat-pig, (which I assume was a capybara, largest rodent in the world and very cute) than you. Personally if I was travelling around I'd be delighted if somebody took over all the organising, that way I'd actually do stuff rather than sit in a hotel room. Surely they appreciate your endeavours? Anyway, forward me some of your e-mails, I want to read the stuff the folks can't see ;)
