Thank You
I have just arrived back in Spain after 5 months on the road, and what a ride it has been; certain people have followed by trip the entire way on my blog, and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed writing it. It’s very early to have a certain view on the trip in retrospect, [...]
Inca Trail
Day 1, 13th of April: I was supposed to be picked up at 5 o’clock, so I set my watch to wake me up at 4.30. However I was woken at 6 in the morning by Flavio, my guide. I had overslept, but my hostel was the last place the bus stopped, and I had [...]
Post Inca Trail
17th of April: I spent most of the day trying to get my pictures converted and uploaded to flickr, but it all went bad, and when I finally got it right, the internet was too crap to upload the pictures. I also met Mike who invited me to come bungee jump with him, I agreed [...]
The Day Before The Inca Trail
This will be my last post until Thursday. Tomorrow (Sunday) morning I am leavning on the Inca Trail, and this today was mainly focused on preperation. I rented a small rucksack to bring along (my big one is much too big), packed it proporly and made sure everything was okay. At 18 o’clock there was [...]
Sacsayhuamán
This was my big cultural day in Cuzco. The morning was all the usual, but I then went to see Sacsayhuamán (pronounced “sexy woman”) which is an ancient shrine, mostly destroyed by Spaniards, who used the stones for their houses; however a good part of it was also destroyed during a very furios battle between [...]
Cuzco Dealings
I came back at 3.45 o’clock and somehow managed to wake up at 7 o’clock, and so was pretty damned tired this entire day, so mainly I was just around the hostel, talking to people and having a good relaxed time. There is a good deal to do in Cuzco, but I have so many [...]
Sacred Valley
Last night two of the Norwegian girls had pointed out to me, that the company I had booked my Sacred Valley tour with, doesn’t do tours on Wednesdays (like today). However when I went to their office at 8.30 to get picked up, the bus was there and the tour left. It is very hard [...]
Headaches In Cuzco
Just like in La Paz, I woke up quite early, it must have something to do with the thin air, Cuzco is at an altitude of 3310 meter and La Paz is at 3640 meter. But I packed my bags, said goodbye to Florian, and walked up to the Loki hostel, where I had booked [...]
Asuncion -> Cuzco
5th of April: Roused from my sleep at 5:30 in the morning as we have made it to Mariscal Estigarribia, which although far from the Bolivian border is where the exit stamp from Paraguay is given. I also believe that the officials were as sleepy as me and everyone else (except the driver, I hope) [...]
