So, half five friday morning and our adventure begins with a struggle to wake up. We managed to drag ourselves downstairs to wait for the bus and when it arrives we climb on board and head off around Cuzco to collect the rest of our group and some of the porters. When the bus is full we head off towards Ollantaytambo for breakfast. On the way out of Cuzco everyone seems to be talking amongsts themselves in the little groups they have come in but as we leave the c...

At about ten to one we both woke up thinking it was nearly time to get up, much was our annoyance when my stupid watch told us the truth of the matter... anyway, struggled on to sleep.
