We arrived into Cusco and had 2 nights to sort ourselves out for the impending 4 days of hiking and 3 nights of camping. The full day in Cusco (23rd Nov was spent) a bit hungover, we had a bit of an unexpected big night out in the irish bar and then some dodgy club, a great night but we were certainly feeling it a bit.

Panic ensued and common sense went completely out the window as we all started producing all our money whilst standing in the street to get Pablo to check out money was okay. Sure fire...
