Hi there Have arrived to do the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu at long last and may not be so happy after 4 days of camping in the cold and wet!!! I am in the Sacred Valley seeing the ruins at Ollantaytambo and the salt pans at Salinas. They have been spectacular and I hope the photos will show this, or maybe not! It has set a high standard for Machiu Picchu which is after spanish lessons in Cusco, word perfect by end of next week, not... Rich is off in the west seeing other places as he did the Inca Trail a number of years ago. Quite time here so hope to hear from some of you soon. Declanx
