I woke up at about 8am with a bit of a sore head after the previous night. The weather was pretty s***ty, grey, cold and drizzly. We had breakfast and then had the choice to walk or grab a bus to the next checkpoint. Due to the weather, my head ache and the fact the walk was just along the same road that the bus would take we opted for the bus ride. Papas obviously took the bus with us as well and actually left the half of the group who wanted to walk to walk on ...

The following day we woke in a slightly warmer climate than the previous day. Had breakfast and headed off at about 8am. I again wore my flip flops as the blisters were still hotter than the sun. We were a lot lower than the previous day, about 2500 m.a.s.l I think so the walk was easier breathing wise how ever because it was humid down there it was really wet. This meant slippery rocks and sticky bogs to contend with which isn't easy in the flip flops. Despite t...

We woke up at around 5am after a terrible nights sleep due to my stomach. Everything was damp and it was freezing inside the tent, let alone outside the tent.

It got to 5 before a guide turned up to pick up the Israeli´s in our room. We bumruched him and asked if he was supposed to be picking us up to which he said... Oh yea... Good one. We drove for 3 hours in a van to Mollepata were I slept the majority of the way. Once there we got some breakfast a...

As u can probably imagine the 22 hour bus to cusco from Lima was pretty vile despite the fact we had a few films on show, with one of them even being in English! The bus wasn't particularly uncomfortable but I guess even sitting in a laz-e-boy for that long will make your arse go to sleep. We arrived in cusco in the morning time and went with the first hostel guy we found, just a few minutes down the road, it was clean, we had our own room and an en suite shower....
