THE ALPACAS IN PERU WERE VERY AMAZING AND ALTHOUGH MOST ARE TO THE QUALITY WE ARE BREEDING AT THE MOMENT, EVEN SOME OF AUSTRALIAS WOULD BE BETTER THAN MOST WE SAW, THEN THERE WOULD BE AN OUTSTANDING ONE THAT REALLY MADE IT WORTHWHILE.

AN OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME, TO TAKE ELYSE TO PERU TO SEE SOME OF THE WORLD'S BEST ALPACAS. THIS TRIP HAD AN UNEEXPECTED SURPRISE FOR US. ON THE LAST DAY IN CUSCO, I GOT EXTREMELY SICK, AND OUR STAY WAS EXTENDED BY 6 WEEKS IN HOSPITAL, WHILST MY HUSBAND HAD TO FLY OVER AT A MINUTES NOTICE TO TRY AND HELP ME GET WELL ENOUGH TO FLY HOME. I KNOW THAT MY ILLNESS OVER IN PERU HAS MADE PEOPLE MORE AWARE OF THE DANGERS OF TRAVELLING IN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY, A NON ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY.
APPARANTLY I DEVLOPED DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS (HIGH ALTITUDE) BECAUSE TRAVELLING IN THE HIGH ALTITUTDES FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, I DEVELOPED DEEP VEIN THROMBISIS, WHICH WHEN YOU GET THIS IN THE ALTITUDES THERE ARE OTHER SIDE EFFECTS, AND IT IS DIFFERENT IF YOU GET IT IN THE LOW LANDS. tHIS COURSED ME TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK, WITH NOW DAMAGE TO THE HEART, PULMONARY ODEMA TO 99% OF MY LUNGS, AND ONCE THE LUNGS WERE BEING DRAINED, IT BECAME EFFIDENT THAT I ALSO HAD MULTIPLE PULMONARY EMBOLISM, WHICH NOW I STILL HAVE NUMEROUS BLOOD CLOTS IN THE LUNGS, WHICH HAS REDUCED MY CAPABILITIES. PERU IS A MARVELLOUS PLACE, BUT ANYONE TRAVELLING TO PERU PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE DANGERS, WHERE THE CLOSEST ENGLISH SPEAKING HOSPITAL IS, PLEASE HAVE TRAVELLERS INSURANCE
AND ENJOY PERU AND WHAT IT HAS TO OFFER, PLEASE BE CAREFUL


Thanks to my husband Rob, who came over to Lima, to assist me in hospital , if it was not for Rob, i know i would not be here today
