Peru & Bolivia

Well, I am finally updating my blog again! The past few weeks have been very hectic as I am sure you can imagine!

I am now settled into my new flat in Ealing, London which I am sharing with Rob. We moved in a week ago and are both really happy. My shipment from America arrived last week also, so I have been busy unpacking and trying to find room for all my stuff.

Rob and I will be housing one of Mel's sofa beds for the next while (as it won't fit into her house), so anyone coming to visit will find themselves with a nice comfy bed to sleep on!

I have also started back at work at Thompson Taraz. In fact, I was back in the office less than 12 hours after landing in London! That's dedication for you (or stupidity!).

All in all, it is fabulous being back in London and I am really enjoying catching up with everyone and seeing all the familiar sights again. The weather has been stunning the last week or so, so we plan to make good use of it and get outdoors as much as possible on the weekends.

I realised that I have only posted photos covering 4 days of my whole South American trip, so below I have posted a few more of my favourites. I will post some photos of my new flat as soon as we get it into a presentable state!
