So this problem with the bus strike, which scared mas alto mike... seb especially cared, so hitchhiking was declared... soon they realised this was a bit rash, they might end up naked with out any cash... me and doug were farely chilled, as long as the journey wouldn't mean getting killed,....gringle and tomo of course would refuse, their sense of adventure does amuse... yes these boys do enjoy their beers, but so far have acted like total queers... Tomo complains about a crinkled sheet, and needs an extra cushion for his sleep, as well as being willing to spend 180 soles on a comfy seat....so we sorted our transport to cusco, in a 65 soles bus we would go, a bus full of non-gringo... the 2 alexs of course would not come, choosing to stay in nasca and bum all night long... the bus to be honest fairly reaked, but then again it was very cheap,......i had to sit next to a fat peruvian chap, he snored alot and smelt like crap... for 3 hours some guy slept at my feet, whilst this fat peruvian had a beat... we got to cusco at over 10000ft, i wander if tomo or england got any peruvian meat... and i forgot to mention gringle with regards to his hair, he's had a f***ing mare
