Cuzco to the Sacred Valley

---

Buonasera,

Well I'm sitting in the lounge of this fabulous converted moastery in Yucay in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, there is thunder and lightening all around me, preparing myself for the trek to the mythical Inca city of Machu Picchu at 4.am in the morning.....I feell so honoured to be here.
Today was spent exploring more of Cuzco, especially the St Blas area ( known as the artists quarter ) so I felt right at home there. Some schoolchildren were practicing their English so came across and asked me some questions..........brilliant. There was also a demonstration by a class of children about saving plants, and how important they are to the enviroment.
This afternoon about 5pm left Cuzco and came with a car and driver to Yucay. What stunning scenery which leads me to the big event........Machu Picchu....into the clouds to the Inca Gods..........If I make it!!!!!
All will be revealed in next blog........

ciao

Mario

No rest for the wicked
Wow the photos look amazing however I thought you were having a few days rest before setting out – it sounds like you haven’t stopped. Enjoy Machu Picchu although im not sure the Inca Gods will let you in with your past history!! Take care x

Buongiorno !
Good morning, Fats. So I wake up to the Lago d'Orta as you prepare for Machu Picchu - can't be bad for both of us. Great pics of the local kids, by the way - the one of the schoolgirls is excellent. Take it easy today, and don't overdo it. Want to hear all about Puntas Arenas as well. Ciao, Carlo
