5.20am alarm call and went to breakfast at 6am. This is when the fun started:-
1) Tried to make coffee:- put nescafe in cup and added ready made coffee out of a jug instead of hot water.
2) Overfilled my cup so didn't have enough room for milk
3) Jackie had enough room and poured what she thought was milk into her cup, not until it went solid did she realise it was infact yoghurt, so now 4 cups later we eventually got our coffee.
Breakfast consisted of bacon, scrambled egg, hotdog sausages, chips with onion and red pepper and chucky bits of fried banana, but we ate it cos we were starving.
Organised trip for today.
Should have been Machu Pichu but unfortunately it was closed due to bad weather so we went to Pisac Market for knick-knack shopping and then onto the Sacred Valley of the Inca tour. All this whilst having a bit of altitude sickness. This again is where the fun started. Had to walk up millions of steps whilst not being able to breathe what so ever but then doesn't help when you can't stop laughing.
Called into a chinchero for local drink and had a game of throwing the coins into a frogs mouth (not real frog of course!!) and was shown a room of guniea pigs which is their local delicay - not we didn't try it.
Called off for a lovely lunch with panpipers playing in the back ground, weather very hot by this time, for those who get it - saw white butterflies and fuschia plants.
Our mini bus driver Mr Santosh thought he was Lewis Hamilton doing the Le Mans 24 with rock slides in the road and raging rivers 2 foot away - oh and by the way oncoming traffic.
Eventually got back to the hotel at 5.30pm and had to have some coffee - made by someone else.
Won't be late night as we've to be up by 5.30 in the morning for breakfast, 7am leaving for a new destination. Which should be better as it has free oxygen in the hotel - no we are not kidding !!!!
