Hi all!
Just wanted to write quick and let you know that I hadn´t abandoned the blog. It´s just been so crazy the last week! I´ll write a quick synopsis, and I promise I´ll post all the fun details later. Okay, so since the last time I wrote...
·We left Huanchaco and headed south to Lima on a long bus ride through the desert. It was very desert like.
·Spent the night in Lima at an overpriced hostal, but had some AWESOME icecream. Took a 5 am flight to Cusco.
·Spent a day bumming in Cusco; it´s really pretty.
·Started on our 4 day hike to Machu Picchu through the jungle. Oh my gosh. It was so amazing, the mountains and everything are so gorgeous. It was a really difficult hike for me at times, but I did it, the straight up the mountain parts and everything.
·Played with a monkey and a capiso.
·Started a 4 am hike yesterday morning straight up Machu Picchu, explored the ruins and climbed from Machu Picchu to the top of Waynupicchu (that´s probably spelled wrong), a mountain with a gorgeous view of Machu Picchu´s ruins. It was incredible, totally worth the ridiculous hike and my sprained ankle. I´ll post some pictures when I have access to my laptop again.
·Took a train back to Cusco
Now we´re back in Cusco for the day, heading tonight on a night bus to Lake Titicaca. And from there, to Chile! I only have 9 days left in South America, gotta make ´em count!
New Word of the Day: huacusi (quechua for ¨let´s go!¨)
