Chapter 9 - Christmas

Go Bananas Xmas party: We returned to Cusco for a feast. It was a
party posted on couch surfing so there was travellers from all over
the world at the event and each brought there own dish. I represented
Scotland with a bowl of bread sauce to go with the chicken and Maggie
for the first time ever didn't cook something and brought loads of
croissants and sweet pastries. We ate and ate and ate and ate and ate
and talked and then the live music began. There was a French guy
there who had a song book of classic songs and in the end the
majority of the night was spent playing cheesy covers but it was a
lot of fun! Check out the French musician and his adventure at

We woke on Xmas morning and after a shower I realised I had almost completely grown a beard of bumfluff. I was going that day to buy a razor. Maggie and I had both received a christmas stocking from my parents before we left Scotland and so we opened them first thing in the morning. I GOT A RAZOR!! I also got a really nice hat from Cécile and Théo, wich makes me look like French! And Maggie got a nice little pipe. We spent the rest of the day chilling in Cusco drinking smoothies with our new friends Jamie and Mariano before returning to the Banana palace for Christmas Lunch. More bread sauce and chicken... WELLL GEEED. We did skyping with our parents and went for dinner and I had alpaca steak and chips with real Heinz tomato sauce!!! That night Jacob ( the hotel owner) asked us if we wanted to come on a trip to Machu Picchu with him that he was organising. He was taking a group but would take us for free. I agreed to go and Maggie decided to stay, in order to work on Chris and Connie's Christmas present: a crochet door curtain...
