Today the weather was really crappy so I decided to head down the hostel and use the Internet for a few hours. The temperature is so cold here right now that I can feel the chill all the way to my bones and so I will try and book my bus ticket out of here for as soon as possible. I managed to book a ticket on a decent bus for a reasonable price and it even includes dinner and breakfast. The rest of the day I walked around the city stumbling across a nice museum f...

Today was Cris's last day so after a small sleep-in we headed into the city and made our way up to Sasquahuaman - another famous archaeological site situated on a hill overlooking Cusco city. On the way we passed an interesting parade happening in the Main Plaza - we watched a little and then continued up the hill.

We found a tour at a good price and by 9am we were on the bus making our way through the city up past a few arch...

The hardest thing about Peru is the fact that everyone is t...

At around 3:30am I got up did my exercises and along with Cris ate a quick breakfast ready to leave the hostel at 4:30am. We were both feeling great and spirits were high as we were about to take on one of the 7 wonders of the world. The track was pitch dark but luckily Cris had brought a small torch that gave us some light. After about a 25 minute walk we fo...
