<br><br> Oct 26<br><br>- Woke up this morning at 5:30 and used the Internet while waiting for breakfast to be ready. Then had breakfast, which was free but only consists of coffee, tea, bread, butter and jelly. You can get more if you pay but that seems like a pretty sufficient breakfast for me since I will be hungover every morning. We went out and walked around the main square, the Plaza de Armas. Jeff bought an alpaca sweater for himself at one of the stores.<br ...

... valley and we could also see the distance we had traveled. Unfortunately for some the physical challenge combined with the height had started to become too much, a number of the group were suffering from headaches, sickness and general exhaustion. I was not immune as I said but the coca candy seemed to be doing the job, I had a mild headache but a short rest did the trick.<br><br>After 20 minutes or so we were invited to view the Perol Nyoc ruins, we were told that Across the ...

... from Panama at all- bit of a branding issue occured with that one... We took a tour of the hat factory, I´m proud to say in Spanish and I think its safe to say I never before had considered the effort put into hat making :) <br><br>Its also a very clean, pollution free city - the only place I´ve been to where I trusted the water enough to clean my teeth from the tap (and you can´t imagine the freedom in this...). Such a great place that apparently everybody in Ecuador ...

... Dorf besteht hauptsächlich nur aus Cuy**ias, glücklich**weise kannte Ricardo die Beste unt** ihnen. Im Lokal h**rschte ein buntes Treiben,<br>ganze Horden von Familien machten sich üb** etwas h**, das wie gebratene Ratte aussah. Den Ersten uns**** Gruppe wurde mulmig zu Mute. V**bissen sprachen ab** alle von ein** Mutprobe und d** einmaligen Gelegenheit eine Spezialität zu geniessen. Gleich neben<br>dem Speisesaal hörte man die kleinen Ding** quicken, und so ...

... shirt. He gave it back at the end and he smells good. Sexto built the stove and Rocio and I placed the soft mud around it so it looks nice. In two weeks they can use the stove. They were so happy. They gave us potatoes that they cooked in the ground. It amazing how they live. And I just took a shower and the water stopped in the middle - with the suds in my hair. Three minutes later it came back on. That drove me crazy and it is the little thing I have no idea how this family lived. I ...

... jokes about the ´trots´, I can tell you that it is no laughing matter in that sort of situation. I have Charlotte to thank for sticking with me every second. I can´t imagine what the outcome would have been otherwise.<br><br>Well, despite all that, by day 3 I was much better and we made it to Machu Picchu which was everything you could imagine plus a lot more. We will post a full report with pictures very soon.<br>

... to do some more that are slightly less luxurious than this one, I will get to the luxury part in a little bit. Starting with gear, we were allowed 7kg of stuff to be carried by horses. Luxury number one, we only had to carry our day packs. These are the things I thought were necessary, I used all of them and could only have used an extra pair of socks and my own sleeping pad. But dirty is not really a full enough description of what I was by day 5. I brought ...

... Incas celebrated their dead, placing them in canopic shelves around the temple, buried in a foetal position (so as to leave the world in the way in which they came), and the architectural designs themselves being earthquake-proof.<br><br>Next we visited Sachsayhuaman (almost pronounced sexy woman!). This was considered a <br>sacred ceremonial site of the Incas, overlooking Cuzco city itself, and was built with defense in mind. Qenqo was another site that was the Inca grave yard ...

... we might as well listen to him. Anyway, it was his way to try earn a living. John reluctantly joined in, along with his wife and daughter, as he spoke to us about the red fort. After a short talk we gave our tips, he gave short "pfft" sound to my small tip &#8211; ungratefully took it and walked away looking for his next tourists. I was a little ****** off at his response.<br><br>Just down the main road from Puka Pukara, we reached ...
