Andino Club Hotel Huaraz

Well after a few days of playing at sea level (but not in the sea cos it was a bit dirty) I`m back in the mountains (about 3,000m again!) I still feel fine (I think the 2 days at sea level didn`t do too much to my aclimatisation!)

There are some really lovey mountains around here (not sure if I will get into them though!) I have glued my boots back together (so I don`t need gaffer tape for them now!) Not sure how long they will last but we will see!

... we arrived at the trailhead I was given a mysterious hot and herbal drink that supposedly helps the stomach. I really didn't care what it was, I was willing to give anything a go. I did actually feel slightly better, with the cramps easing and so, with the sun blazing, I decided to give it a go. Wooooo! I don't think I had much choice, really.

The walk was a fairly easy introduction to the trek. There was quite a bit of downhill, a little bit uphill (that ...

... yet, gonna stop by an internet cafe tomorrow. The Hotsel we are in is beautiful, the rooms is nice but the pillows not so much. Tomorrow we are up bright and early to tackle Lake 69, which tops out somewhere around 6500 m above sea level. Our walk today took us to around 4500m, I dont know what we are at right now but I can tell you that if feels like we should be below sea level after all of the walking we did today. Thats all for now.

Was wir gestern noch nicht erwaehnt hatten. Da war noch die Kneipe 13 Buhos (Uhus), in der wir versumpft sind. Der Wirt Lucho braut dort sein Coca-Bier. Red and Brown. In Flensburger Flaschen. Und Bob singt dazu. Jezt fehlte nur noch der Che... What an evening...
Dann heute: ich fragte mich warum eigentlich keine Tische vor der Tuer der Restaurants stehen um schoen in der Sonne zu fruehstuecken. Da waren wohl ein paar ...

... to leave the next day and had raced from Nasca to Huaraz because we knew there was a 3 day road strike coming up, where every single road in the country would be blocked and there would be no bus travel anywhere. What we hadn´t banked on was the fact that ANY road transport would be attacked on those three days, which included the local combi we were going to take to get to the start of the hike. So we had to wait three days before we could start. Even ...

... pass the blockades was met by instructions of go little by little. So we stopped in one village and played cards, went to the next and had lunch, went to the next and did nothing for hour after hour. It did however give us the chance to visit the ruined town of Yungay which sits afoot the biggest mountain in the range. In 1970 a powerful earthquake triggered a catastrophic landslide off the top of the mountain and flattened the town in literally 5 seconds flat, burying all 25 ...

Very interesting ruins (and that's coming from a person who's not a fan of ruins and even skipped Machu Picchu - twice!) of a peoples way before the Inca empire.

Also lovely hot springs in the shape of bath tubs, mmmmm nice and warm and smelly!
