We were waiting in the hostel lobby for our promised transfer. It was about 15mins till the bus left and there was no sign of the bus, pretty annoyed we jumped into a taxi and headed of to the bus station ourselves. We found the bus and realised the bug*er had put us in the rubbish seats on the top floor so we went back inside and payed extra so we could sit in the good seats downstairs. We then noticed that the cheeky barstward had put the departure tax stickers...

Jumped on the bus at 8am for the 6hr journey to Puno, where the floating islands on Lake Titicaca are. Some tout guy caught us coming off the bus and was offering us heaps of deals, we knew the price of one place and we managed to barter him down a bit so we ended up taking that.

Met the rest of the group in the lobby and weighed our bags that the porters were gonna carry, they are only allowed to carry 6kg each, wimps i though to myself, little did i know they carried 5 bags each. Brids bag and mine weighed...

We arrived in Cuzco and there was a guy with our names on a white board waiting for us, as we'd arranged accommodation before we'd left Lima. We all jumped into a taxi as the guy was gonna give us "special price".
