It took three days by bus, but we saw a lot of things on the way. We didn’t do much for the first two days, as some of the girls were ill. We spent most of the time on the beach. On Wednesday we came up to the mountains and while we were doing some sightseeing, it rained heavily, so we couldn’t take a lot of photos. Yesterday, we went to the old Inca City of Machu Picchu. It was fantastic. Hope you’re well. Did you get my card from Colombia? Love, Matt. PS. We will leave for Bolivia tomorrow. * Questions 1. How did Matt get to Lima? …………………………………………………………………………… 2.
