Hey everyone
Its nice to see our ´followers increase´- top stuff, makes us feel popular.
Today we did a massive long day trip to see about 20 different inca sites - really interesting- but lots of climbing steps. It gave us a taste for the Macchu Picchu trek which we have coming up in a couple of days, think that will be really knackering. We met a couple (Craig and Natasha) who will be doing the trek with us and they gave us plenty of tips for dealing with Glenn´s altitude sickness - including these really good coca sweets, we bought a massive bag so may well be addicts by the time we get back!
It has started to get a bit cold here at nights and will be freezing on the trek so I bought some peruvian gloves - very patterned. I was haggling and then realised I was haggling over 50p and felt mean so just paid the money.
Glenn is a lot better but still not firing on all cylinders - the only wrong with nina is a touch of sunburn from sitting in the courtyard drinking tea a couple of days ago (see last post) - apparently you can get sunburn at 8am.
Tomorrow is our last day of prep before the big trek so it will be all about getting prepared and an early night (we get up at 4.30 on Tuesday).
We are having a great time and feel like we have done a lot and we have only been here 5 days!

ReplyDeleteClassic Nina - am pretty sure noone else gets sunburnt at 8am.
So funny you met another couple, craig and tash, i bet they are blogging about you 2.
A request - can you explain in the next blog, in 1 and 2 sentences (and small words) what machu pikachu actually is? I have no idea but it is supposed to be AMAZING
Have fun and take loads of photos. And careful you don't lose your v expensive new gloves hehe
