Mother is safe in Peru


I just wanted to blog this and tag it in case any one else out there was as worried as me. There is a group of 20 from the UK who have gone off to Peru, to tour and visit the rain forest and Macchu Piccu. Due to the earthquake on Thursday I was really worried not knowing which location my Mum was in on that day - so I managed to find her itinery at her house and decided to ring the number of Amazonas Explorer in Peru.
I left a garbled message on this Spanish answer machine, but leaving my telephone number, and then half an hour later got a reply from an english man - to say they were all safe and well and at the time of the quake they were in the jungle 800 miles away.
All flights are back on track so there will not be a problem with them getting back to Lima for the next part of the trip - and to get home. He asked me to pass on messages to the rest of the groups family - but i dont know who they are - so i thought i could do it throught tagging my blog, contacting GMTV, Swansea Sound and Radio One -hopefully you can all now relax - as I am!
