I`ve had a fantastic five days since my last post. But it´s 11pm and I´ve just had a long bus ride back to Cusco so I´ll just touch on the highlights and then make a nice long post tomorrow (or it might require several). First, have brand new SOFT pillow in hotel so am a happy chappy.
The Inca trail and all the ruins are fantastic. We had spectacular weather on all except the last day and had breathtaking views. Hang on, that might have been the climb to dead woman´s pass at 4215 metres. The ruins at either end of the walk - Ollantaytambo and Macchu Picchu - were definitely the best of the lot that we saw, but the one´s on the track were interesting too. Fabulous guide, fabulous service. Sore calves, sore thighs, filthy clothes, slightly sunburned arms, great people to do the walk with, ready for nice long sleep before exploring Cusco tomorrow now that we´re much more used to the altitude.

Great to hear the trail was such a highlight, well done! A couple at dinner last night have done it and they say it's hard yakka (they weren't as fit as you at the time they did it though). Pozo del sueño you've earned it! xxx
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful. Glad about the pillow - just shows you what a [polite] wobbly can get you. Look forward to next instalment. I x
ReplyDeleteWe're envious. Not of the nice pillow - we've got some of them!. So nice to hear from you and that you're having such a great time. Love you.
