... 0425 pick up but bloke downstairs was kipping his heart out and did not get collected till 5am, good start. Got taken in a cab to the square where a group of people were waiting to get on a bus, which we all then did. We were last on so had to settle fpr sitting behind a Brazilian dude (who looked like Sayeed frpm Lost) who seeled determined to fully utilise his chair reclinability, and as I had my luggage in my lap it left me little room for manouvre. Luckily ot was a short trip and we ...

... mixture of highland tussock and high jungle. In total we completed 17kms and I managed to do some damage to my left archilles tendion. That evening at camp I was given a bath of warm water and coca leaves to relieve the swelling. Again, fantastic food from the crew.<br><br>DAY THREE<br>We started at 7.30am with an early finish at 1pm. Most of the walk was through middle to low jungle being at around 2000 - 3000m. Lots of introduced Euculyptus ...

... Took the bus yesterday (13 hours) to Cusco. The bus certainly is not for everyone, but I´m digging it =) For 100 Bolivian Soles (less than US$ 15), I got transportation, breakfast (bread &amp; coffee), snack (juice, 2 different chocolate candy bars) and wonderful scenery! I also got a bathroom for urine only (clearly posted), a seat that didn´t recline and BAD music! <br><br ...

... for my briefing it was decided that I should take a day to recover and leave the day after. Happy with this, I returned to my noisy hostel and enjoyed a long, long sleep.<br><br>I woke up feeling more refreshed the next day but still not amazing. As a result, I chickened out of Salkantay and decided to do the seemingly more gentle Inca Jungle trail instead. More about that in the next entry.<br><br>So as not to waste the entire day I set off for nearby Pisac in the Sacred Valley ...

... da cidade, por onde passam centenas de turistas (muitos mesmo!) e alguns peruanos vestidos com seus trajes típicos, carregando carneirinhos ou levando llamas, para que os turistas tirem fotos. Meio falso, mas eu vou tirar uma foto dessas também! hehe<br><br>Passeamos pelo bairro de San Blas, o bairro dos artistas. Muito bonito e tranquilo! Chegamos a uma pequena praça onde há uma igreja e uma feira de artesanato, onde os artesaos trabalham ...

... kann man es auf den Bild**n sehen, dass es da manchmal 400m senkrecht runt** geht.<br>Was nicht ganz v**ständlich ist, ist die Stufenhöhe, die manchmal selbst für mich zu groß waren. <br>Nach einem kleinen Abendbrot wied** unten in Aqua Caliente dann zurück mit dem zug und spät** mit dem Bus und gegen 10:00 zurück in Cusco, weil dann doch einige am nächsten Tag weit** wollten mussten wir halt noch am gleichen Tag ausgehen und uns v**abschieden auch wenn wir müde waren.<br><br>

... painting with guinea pig as the supper and a beautifully carved choir loft. We had a great evening at a Folkloric night where we saw loads of dances and heard loads of songs and it was generally a good night out.<br><br> On Sunday we continued our epic Incan adventure and headed to the Sacred Valley!<br><br>Much love to everybody at home - less than a week to go - cant wait to see you all xxxx<br>
