Well since the old Inca Trail we haven´t really had time to rest. As we weren´t really in the mood for celebrating when we got back from the Inca Trail, me and leeroy took it upon ourselves to celebrate the night after instead. We headed into town watched a bit of footy and a movie then randomly bumped into the rest of our Inca Trail group. They were heading out for a meal so we decded to join them. I thought it´d be rude to go to Peru and not s...

THE INCA TRAILThis is probably the most amazing thing I have done and we all absolutely loved it, the sights we saw were amazing and it was a real challenge, awesome! Heres the run down!Day 1 - 13th AprilIt was an early start! The bus picked us up at 5.40!

I´m in South America, how crazy is that! It was however after suffering a pretty gruelling 12 hour flight sitting next to some guy who loved splaying his broad sheet newspaper over me! I didn´t get much sleep and our first welcome into Santiago, Chile was to get thoroughly ripped off by the taxi driver, we ended up paying 40 pounds for a taxi that should have cost 8, robbing sniders. But once we got to our hostel things picked up it was like a boys dream; there...
