Back to Cuzco We were up at 7:30 today and arrived at the Blue Llama just as they were opening, our info was correct and we immediately ordered all you can eat pancakes each. We were rewarded with a plate of 3 incredibly light and fluffy pancakes each the size of a normal dinner plate as well as a little jug of honey to pour on them. One we had both finished our plated the waitress tuned up with a new plate containing 4 more, after finishing these (I had 6.5 and...

Pisac We were up at 8 this morning and by 9 we had packed, found ourselves a S1 coffee and had walked to the area outside the market where all the collectivos gather. We managed to get ourselves a ride to Urubamba where we changed for a rather bumpy bus trip the rest of the way to Pisac, another typical Inca town with waterways incorporated into the design and cobbled pavements. After looking around for a while we found another hostel for S15 each ($5), dumped o...

Getting to Aguas Caliente. We were ready at 4:30 today to catch a taxi to the Santiago bus station where we had been informed that buses to Santa Maria started at 5. We arrived in plenty of time to buy our tickets only to be informed that the tourist information people were wrong (shock!!!!) and the first bus didn't in fact leave until 7:15!!! We were both unsurprisingly very pissed off at this and sat Grumbling for the next half hour or so until a lady show...
