Hey amigos! The last few days was the craziests of aaaaaaaall my life!! comin' back from Machu Picchu to Cusco, i decided to stay the last days of my trip here enjoying the city and the its parties!!!
First, back to the hostel, it was very crazy 'cause they was getting ready to the New Year's Party - the hostel was crowded with beers and rum's boxes!!! So, the nesxt days it was only drinking in the morning, drinking in the afternoon and tonight going to the night clubs like Mama Africa and Up Town! Only at 31st December me and Thiago (a very nice brazilian guy that i met here and live 2 blocks form my home there in Sao Paulo!) decided to buy the Sacred Valley Tour, it was very nice, the tour was very beatiful, but near Machu Piacchu, they seem a little boring!
But it was very nice, i don't remember the correct order of the ruins that we visited, 'cause the bus was every time stoping in one ruin and then heading to another, it was a little confusing, but, that's latin america! we visited Pisac, a very conservated Inka site with very beatiful
Back to The Point
back to the hostel, they re getting readdy to the New Year's party! ruins and a (if i m not wrong) very nice handcraft market with all you can imagine from inka/peruvian culture! it's very hard for somebody who's travelling in a very thigh budget! i bought 3 inka statues (2 for me and 1 from leandro, my best friend in Brazil) and a Alpaca's clothe to Karin (my best female friend in Brazil) and payed only 40 soles! it was a crazy bargain 'cause the original price was 85 soles! what a nice deal, uh?
Then we moved to Ollamtaytambo, i 've been there 3 days ago when i was coming from Machu Picchu, the train left us there! but i didn't realized what a huge inka fortress that there are there! the most crazy from ollamtaytambo is that the quarry that supllied the fortress's construction was almost 3 km from there, the huge stones had to go down the mountains and then pick a boat to get there! it's crazy to imagine doing this nowadays, imagine in the Inka time! Craaazy! Finaly, i took almost 300 photos from all the valley!
Then, I spent my New Year here, and it was certanly the craziest and funniest of all my
Parties, parties and parties!
and isn't the new year's party! life! we (me, marcos from argentina and paul from russia) 've bougth the entrance to the party here at The Point Cusco Hostel, our hostel. It was first 50 dolars! crazy! but the owenr decided to charge 50 soles to the hostel's guests, so we tough it was fair, it was all-you-can-drink-and-smoke-and-everything party! very funny, a lot of people from all around the world and from other hostels and peolpe from cusco!! it the last minutes of 2006 we went to the Plaza the las Armas, the local fired a lot of fireworks and startes to run trough the Plaza! It was very funny, specially 'cause i was very drunk and i was with a
cusqueña that i met at the hostel! back to the party then the party really begins, it was fucking crazy, i really drunk a lot and don't remember the lasts minutes of the night, but i don't care, i'm travelling and just want to have fun! unfortunately, i 've lost the
cusqueña phone number, she was very pretty and i would really enjoy if i could see her againg but, no problems!
Like Jimmy, the
LokoCanguru - an aussie guy that i
good friends
Benj, from Canda and Corey, from Australia! met in Santa Cruz - sad to me: when Travelling, people from all around the world came, go and pass by you, it's very funny cause you met a lot of peolpe and then you had only the photos and the email adress!! but when you want to travel again, you have a lot of people to see in another countries and, maybe, stay in their houses and know the city with them! And finnaly, we're travielling, so, no promblems!
Now i am in a trip's finals mud, getting ready to go back to Brazil, the good news are that i will arrive in Sao Paulo and 2 days after i ll go to Rio and Buzios to 3 weeks there with my family! i guess it ll be f**king funny!
So, see you next trip, maybe europe, maybe North Africa, i don't know, but it ll be certanly longer than that, i m realizing 6 months maybe, i dont know!
Missing everybody back in Brazil, soon we ll be in a sunny beach in RIo! and for everybody don't forget! keep travelling!
