It is Saturday and finally I 1) ………… (have arrived) in Arequipa in the south-west corner of Peru after setting off from Quito ten days ago. I 2) ………… (have not / written) anything on my blog since last week and I 3) ………… (have already / filled up) the memory stick on my new digital camera. I 4) ……….. (have done) so much this week, it 5) ………… (was) truly incredible. I 6) ………… (crossed) the border with Ecuador at Tumbes and 7) ………… (looked around) for a bit before taking a plane straight to lima. When I 8) …………. (got to) Lima, I 9) ………… (took) a bus to the centre and then a taxi to the hotel that I had booked. I 10) ………… (only / stopped off) in Lima for a day and then 11) ……… (jumped) on a bus straight down to Pisco and then Nazca. I 12) ………… (have always / had) a lifelong ambition to see the Nazca lines in the desert. I can honestly say that I 13) ………… (have never / seen) anything so amazing in my life. In the middle of the desert, there are huge designs and drawings of shapes and animals that can only be seen from the air. I 14) ………… (joined) a group of five people from my hotel. We 15) ………… (took off) in a small plane and 16) ………… (circled) the Nazca lines. The pilot 17) ………… (tilted) the plane to the side so we could look straight down at the designs below. I 18) ………… (even / managed) to take some photos so click the link to have a look at my photo album! I must finish uploading all my photos soon because I 19) ………… (have not / done) them all yet and I need the space on my camera. There 20) ………… (have been) too many distractions this week!
1) By Christmas we settled in a new place and met almost all the neighbors. Only my sister has not arrived yet, but her room was already ready. 2) She tried not to remind him of what he told her. 3) When Anthony and Kate entered the hall, there were already twenty people gathered there. 4) He barely had time to start his story when he was interrupted by a phone call. 5) They returned to their hometown, where they lived with their parents in childhood. 6) It was only half an hour since the last guest left. 7) Mary did not pass two blocks when he caught up with her. 8) When Margie entered the room, she saw that all the things were standing where she had left them. 9) I did not know when she left. I did not know why she left. 10) I did not remember this man and did not think that I had met him before. 11) Hardly the transmission ended, as the TV went out of order. 12) He thought ... no, he was sure that he had been here before. 13) He did not have time to go ten steps before he returned, because he forgot his briefcase. 14) As soon as we packed all the things, a taxi arrived and we went to the station. 15) He has not changed much since Gerald saw him for the last time. But now there was a new, cruel expression on his face that had not been there before.
