Today we awoke in quiiiite a bit of pain from day 2 but once again it was an early start and we were promised that it was a much easier day today with a mixture of up down and flat. Once again Reuban (our tour guide) was lying and it was mainly up and very steeply down with big steps, but it was a lot better that yesterday! It was a bit of a learning day too as we stopped at lots of ruins and learnt about the Incas etc. Crazy fog today which was very cool. Is in a few photos! Again had amazing food for lunch and dinner and the best part of today was knowing that where we were camping was at a lodge that had cold beer and a hot shower for 5 sol!! It was everyone’s motivation as we did 9 hours of trekking and it was a long day. We pretty much ran the last 2 hours to get to little luxury! After a pathetically dribbly warm shower and a cold drink we ate and crashed once again! Great day though!

Totally tantalising!
Elle and Rach - you girls ROCK! (I'm sure you'll remember who said that Elle!). What wonderful weather, some extraordinary photography and the most amazing adventure imaginable. Bet all those early rises and steep steps were well worth it to experience the wonders of Machu Picchu and the beautiful views down to the valleys below. Loads of love from us all here. Mum (Bev)
