... t lose your stomach contents is bigger ;-).<br><br>Now that our batteries are recharged we feel completely ready (ahum ahum) for our busride of 14 hours to Cusco. To soften the pain a little bit we took the most luxurious class, it was a little bit more expensive than the other companies but as the distance is really big it is worth it. We're going to stay approximately 10 days in Cusco to visit Macchu Picchu and to do a big hike of several days.<br><br>Bubaai!<br>

... guy next to Nicki reached for the blue sick bag and barfed his guts up quite violently. The high pitched squeal of the airplane radio reached a crescendo and all I could smell was vomit.

... watching the tiny planes take off and land (and a national geographic film about the area=... and then it was our turn...- we were with a French couple, we had a conversation about not having eaten breakfast because of the liklihood of it returning (as I had heard many stories of people not feeling well on the flights!=) - we walked across the runway... until we reached the smallest plane... Al and the French girl had to get in the back, and me and the French guy in the middle ...

... by the Nazca people from AD500. But I quite like the idea of age old running tracks, especially as they are shaped as monkeys and hummingbirds. Others include witch doctors drawing pictures in the sand after getting off their trolleys on hallucinogens, or the American favorite of Aliens drew em.
