I got up this morning to take some pics of the Plaza without the markets and guess what? They were setting up for a new market today. The place is so famous they have a market everyday, although some smaller than others. Everyday they set up markets under plastic and every night they come down. The bus ride to Urubamba was fun as always. I love local Busses. Instead of the stinky kid next to me I got stinky old street bum this morning. Pisac and Urubamba are both...

I´ve just been sitting in the pub with a couple of Peruvian friends blowin the froth off a couple of king browns. The bottles here are bigger than the ones at home.

I couldnt find anything where it was supposed to be. I latter worked out I had the map upside down. After breaky I walked to the Plaza de Armas. The road from my hostel to the plaza is a main road and there are heaps of travel agents along there. I used the opportunity to check out prices for a trip to the jungle...

It was 6deg this morning but it felt warmer than it has for a few days. I lumped my big pack for a couple of kilometers this morning to find the cheese sandwich man from yesterday. When I found him he was out of cheese so that was a bummer. I caught a cab from there to the bus station. I was told to bring plenty of food and water cos the trip will take 10-12 hours and no stops. Bus was leaving at 8 and there had been a few leave before ours. I was travelling with...
