Geoff enjoying the view

Yesterday we did a mega day trek .
25km walked and reaching altitudes of 4300m.
Coming from the flatlands of norfolk this was an amazing trek for me.
Took some fantastic photos but you will have to wait to see them .
Our guide told us we could easily do the inca trail in 2 days and not the [...]

Also the water from one [...]

cocoa tea

I Have only been hard a few days and i an already addicted to the cocoa tea.
This is not a bad thing though as cocoa tea is meant to be good for preventing altitude sickness.
It is much nicer when made with fresh cocoa leaves rather than tea bags .

A Result….

Last week much to my delight I had a massage booking from my advert in the local parish magazine.
My client was so pleased with the massage that she re-booked me for today as well.
The lady concerned has had her ankle in plaster for 10 weeks.
To get around she has been using a Zimmer frame [...]

Rain and Sunshine…

Only a small number of walkers turned out for today’s walk.
Some people are on holiday, the others put off by the forecast of bad weather.
So it was four female walkers that set off from Pakenham at 9.30 am.
Within an hour it was raining and by lunch time we looked like four drowned rats.
After eating [...]
