I was in my dorm room at around 7pm, when the bed started to rock i was thinking someone is getting lucky of the top bunk, until i saw the walls shaking as well then everyone was evacuated to the garden and into the crisp evening air of Cuzco.

After booking about 3 different tours and being up 3 days in a row at 3am, I finally got to the sacred site of Machu Picchu. So we were picked up from the hostel then it was a bus ride then a train ride, i was asleep for most of them so times are unknown. I was awoken by a shake from a lovely Ecuadorian man, i think i may have been nodding off on his shoulder but he was too polite to say anything. So made friends with Marcelo, Carlos from Quito and Agata the spanish speaking polish chicha. What [View Full Entry]
