Amazon Wild Women of Machu Picchu
















Hi there Wild Women on Top,





In case you havent heard, the whole of Peru is in shock after the whirlwind tour of 17 Wild Women on Top, who danced, sang, trekked, plunged, ate and drank their way along hundreds of kilometers of Inca Trails to arrive laughing at Machu Picchu.





These 17 women, including Jill, Annie L, Ann, Jo T, Sally, Caroline, Clare, Barb, Jen, Shaz, Megan, Jo P, Sheree, Millie, Jo R and Valerie, created such an energy and radiance, that the ripples will go on for ever. Everyone they met was touched by their love, kindness, and wild ways and it was a great privilege to have had the pleasure of joining them.





Here's their limmerick and their song, and I hope they'll fill in the missing bits to keep you entertained.





Wild Wishes,





Di







Machu Picchu 08 Limmerick


Josephine finds life a drama


Got close to the bum of a Lama


A quick secret peak


She was known to sneak


Her stress over dirt now much calmer.




Young Millie can sometimes be silly


She plunges and leaps like a philly


Blister babe every day


Singing mountains away


With conditioner used willy nilly.




Caroline is a twinnie it’s true


She despises down hill thru and thru


In limbo a wally


Up the volva she’s jolly


With pisco suppositories she flew.




Our Jilly is funny and sweet


Her makeup a beautiful treat


Midgies scarred her for life


But no tanty lite


And Juan’s cooking made her day complete.




Sheree our original Hard Core


Her fitness and strength we adore


Gasped at Yanama Pass


Her pants were half mast


Shopping in New York such a score!




A thermal obsession has Di


But at Limbo she really can fly


A landslide she caused


At waterfalls paused


At Machu Picchu “no more steps” she’d cry!



Annie is our singing queen
Vagina song caused quite a scene
In tent fast and neat
Dancing hard to beat
Face creams were her beauty regime.



Ann is our beautiful MD


Looking after us all to a tee


Tech walking a cinch


Always there in a clinch


Enjoying the moments happily.




There was a young girl named Clarita


Who really could not be much sweeter


She trekked thru Peru


On Vodka she flew


Pinching bottoms on trains does complete her.




Shaz pulled daily treats from her pack


Each anonymous gift was “all black”


She lolled by the fire


Which could have been dire


Pisco sours made Poncho’s tent crack.




Valerie was our translating queen


Her dancing with Juan made him beam


The wind took her hat


Alas that was that


And the ambulance horse kept her lean




Sal wasn’t one for great heights


Being first to the pass a highlight


Strapping knees was her skill


Helped the team get downhill


But shopping her greatest delight.




Barbs specs at the feast oh so cool


Her positive vibe a great tool


She got stronger each day


And she smiled all the way


Pancho’s kids now have pencils for school.




Megan came to Peru with the gear


With rocket fuel, comfort and care


Kept Shaz out of the fire


Trekkking skills we aspire


But tarantulas made her despair.




Amazon Jo came from Perth


Fast from the start showed her worth


Horse ride slowed her down


She bounced back without frown


She’s a true example of mother earth.




Jo T dressed for us in great style


Crisp white shirt at dinner made us smile


She likes heat and dust


Climbing mountains no fuss


But the midgies she thought were a trial.




Our beautiful Jen left her Guy


Wild women trek under blue sky


Plunge in Amazon


White party gloves on


Now off to New York for more highs



Wild Women Song to the tune of Frere Jacques

Wild Women, Wild Women, On the track, On the track
Careful as you descend, Careful as you descend
Or you'll stack, or you'll stack.

Wild Women, Wild Women, On the rise, On the rise,
Huffing as we go up, Huffing as we go up.
Awesome thighs, Awesome thighs.

Wild Women, Wild Women, We can drink, We can drink,
All those Pisco sours, All those Pisco sours,
Glasses chink, Glasses Chink.

Wild Women, Wild Women, Sleeping tight, sleeping tight
Well away from mirrors, well away from mirrors,
What a fright, what a fright.

Wild Women, Wild Women, Stunning view, stunning views.
Sharing favourite moments, sharing favourite moments,
Even poos, even poos.

Wild Women, Wild Women, Dance on Top, Dance on Top
Drinking all the Tokay, drinking all the tokay
Then we drop, then we drop.

Wild Women, Wild Women, Love to laugh, Love to laugh
We dont like the heat much, we dont like the heat much
Makes us barf, makes us barf.

Wild Women, Wild Women, Pancho's sweet, Pancho's sweet,
Julio and Liandro, Hoolio and Liandro
Such a treat, such a treat.

Wild Women, Wild Women, Joanna too, Joanna too,
She is one of us now, she is one of us now,
She's wild too, She's wild too.

Wild Women, Wild Women, We love Juan, We love Juan,
Javier est guapo, Javier est guapo,
So much fun, so much fun.

Wild Women, Wild Women, In Peru, In Peru
We love Machu Picchu, We love Machu Picchu,
You will too, you will too.
