I got up early this morning for my Spanish lesson and had a quick bite to eat (flat bread rolls and jam of course). It took me 20 minutes to walk to my school which is uphill in the San Blas area. I met Rosita, the Dutch girl who is also in my class then I met my attractive teacher Adriana (muy guapa!). There is also a Swiss girl called Brigitte in my class. Wew walked down the windy, cobbled streets and reached the school's classrooms. We started chatting in Spa...

I got up quite early even though my sleep was really disturbed. The party girls in my dorm came back at 4am totally leathered and put the light on and made lots of noise. Later at 6am, Chris's tour guide came into our dorm requesting he join everyone else in the van waiting to go on their Macchu Pichu trek. However Chris couldn't go because of his typhoid infection and so after some 5 minutes the tour guide realised and left. However everyone in the dorm got woke...

Me and Chris got up early and got a taxi to the bus station. We got on a bus to the nearby town of Pisac in the Sacred Valley. Pisac is a beautiful colonial town situated near Incan ruins. We walked around the town and got a taxi to the Incan ruins that are dramatically located 600m above the town on a mountain between two gorges. We bought our Cusco tourist certificate which allows access to some 16 Incan sites and museums. We managed to scam student tickets wit...

We got up around 10 and listened to an English girl greet about how she'd had her camera stolen last night. Then me and Chris walked into town to meet Vanessa at the Plaza de Armas. We were a little late but she didn't mind. We went to a great gringo haunt called "Jacks" which does English breakfasts. The breakfast was great, you know the score eggs, bacon etc. However I couldn't help thinking a nice bit of square sausage and some tattie scones would have made it...

I got up today and felt amazing; no headaches or shortness of breath. I had breakfast with a cup of mate de coca. Some people were watching the Arsenal match in the bar, I watched some of it. I then walked around in the bright, crisp sunshine. I checked out Spanish schools in an internet cafe and updated my journal. An Irish guy next to me is down with the flu (who's not at the moment, jeez). I sat in the sunny courtyard and read my Lonely Planet (LP). A gir...
