We got up at 4am and were woken up by our porters but no sodding tea! Damn, it was pitch black and freezing. We had breakfast and put our stuff in our duffle bags. Dad's torch (99p from B&Q) which was crap already started to get dimmer as the battery died. We began our descent in the dark, it was really dangerous especially with our s*** torch! It was tough-going, me and Dad were right behind Milu while "Team Ireland" struggled behind us. We reached the foo...

We were woken up at 5.30am by the porters offering us a metal cup of tea.We had breakfast and then set off up the hill towards the next Inca site in the rain and mist.

We had a quick roll and jam an tried to eat it in the dim candle light. At 6am our bus arrived and picked us up, it took us to a nearb...

I got woken up really early at 6am by Vanessa`s mum having an argument with one of her workers. I got up at 9 with the sun shining into my guest room. I had some breakfast with Vanessa and Chris. We tried to contact the hotel to tell my dad I would be back at the hotel later than 10am but the Peruvian Yellow Pages Vanessa had was 4 years out of date and the number had changed.
