I chilled out for a while in my massive bed and it slowly dawned on me I had done a general and just stormed out of a hostel (when I{m trying to travel on a shoestring) and booked myself into a 3 star hotel! I watched some tv; MTV, BBC and Retro (classic film channel). I met Chris in the plaza and we had breakfast in the Cross Keys pub. We had full English breakfasts and then we chilled out in an internet cafe nearby sipping mochas. I saw Morton got beat in...

We got up early and checked out of the hotel, had breakfast. We then walked around the centre and bought some gifts for the family. We walked to San Blas and I took my dad to my fave cafe in the whole world; Muse Cafe. We had some great, creamy hot chocolates and then walked to an internet cafe just to burn an hour. We then went back to the Cuban restaurant and had some sandwiches. I escorted my dad to the hotel and said my goodbyes. I then rushed off to my Spani...

There was the same group of Americans and they were holding us up as we couldn't overtake them on the narrow cliff paths. Eventually we reached the Inca site of Runkuraqay, it's perched on a dramtic cliff edge overlooking a valley. We walked around the oval shaped structure (shaped in that way to s...
