Cusco & The Sacred Valley

We arrived in Cusco very happy but it turned out to be a bady night, I have became very ill here in Cusco with Altitude sickness and I caught a bacterial infection it seems from the jungle.  I spent 1 night in the hospital, having oxygen and medicine.  It was a horrible experience and very painfull, i was giving medicine to take and thought i was all ok but it seems not.  After a few days, we went to machu picchu and i became very ill again, sickness and dirorhea, I pushed myself to see the sights even whilst been sick but i was glad to be back in Cusco, where right now im still in the hospital, i will be here again for 2 days.

We have had to cancel our trip of south america, i am devastated but it has to be done for my health, we will fly to lima, then rio tomorrow to catch a flight back to Scotland, for me to rest and get checked up more and of course take my medicine to recover from this infection.

Apart from the drama of been sick, my beloved wife took care of me and has been by myside at all times, so thank you Zaira.  I love you with all my heart..

On a good note, Cusco was a beautiful city and i was taken very well care of, the hospital here is very nice, the staff are friendly, i have everything private and even tv and wi-fi, so its all ok.

The sacred valley was very beautiful also, everything is beautiful in life and here...
