We leave for the Inca Trail tomorrow, early I think. I´m a bit bored of Cusco and am itching to get started. Cusco´s lovely and has quite a buzz about it, with pretty cool bars, restaurants and nightclubs. But it feels as though I am in a giant waiting room and they try and charge for everything here which, although it´s all pretty cheap, gets a bit tiring.
We´re at 3500 metres - I said feet previously - and I still feel a-ok. The first day´s hike shouldn´t be too bad by all accounts, it´s the second day that is the killer, when we reach our highest point of 4200 metres, and is uphill all the way. By the end of the third day we´re pretty much done, the fourth is a gentle two-hour walk to Machu Picchu.
I´m currently in the hostel waiting to be collected for a briefing, but the guide is late so thought I´d blog. Anyway, hope you´re all well, I will try and blog again from Aguas Calientes - a little town by Machu Picchu - and hopefully load some pictures as well.
