Day 15: 15/07/12 Two weeks done!! Today was Macchu Pichu. It was one of the best and the worst days ever- before ye start worrying both myself and Muireann are absolutely fine- not a bother on us. We were collected from the hotel at 5am- we had to drive an hour and a half to the train station in Ollantaytamo and then spend an hour and a half on a train getting to Agua Calientes. Then there was a tour guide waiting for us- we had our own personal tour guide for ...

Day 14: 14/7/12. It's a long one!! Had a tour of the sacred valley around cusco today. We passed lots of houses with bulls on top if them again- apparently they are to being fertility, love and happiness. Some of them have crosses aswell to show they ate catholic. We found out why some houses aren't finished around puno- they dont want to pay the taxes! In Cusco though they are mostly finished. The bus driver was a bit crazy- they all overtake round corners and...

Day 13: 13/7/12 Got the bus to Cusco which left at 7am. These people really don't know how to sleep in! There are little stalls of food on the streets and lots of people seem I eat their breakfast there- always groups of people around in any town we've been in.

There are...

Day 12: 12/7/12 Happy birthday Mam, hope you had a good day! Went on a day trip to lake titicaca today. At the harbour there were boats and people everywhere, obviously all doing the same kind of trip. We went to the Uros islands first. They are unbelievable. They are floating islands that the Uros people make themselves. You can actually feel them bobbing in the water when you stand on them. There are reed things that grow in the lake and they use them for ev...

Day 11: 11/7/12 We were up bright and early to get our bus to puno at 6.15. They were to collect us at the hostel. After an hour, we were kinda wondering where they were! The girl in the hostel rang up and it turns out the bus to puno leaves at 13:15. We were booked on the right bus but given the wrong time. So we were up before everyone else in the hostel-hung around looking on Facebook and vibered Shell for a while. Then, we decided to make use of our extra ...
