D-day. Or should I say MP-Day. So woke up at 3.45 to start our accent to Machu Picchu. Had breakfast in the hostel, left most of our stuff and started walking.Ther was the option of getting a bus which I did consider as the bites and blisters were causing a lot of pain but I soldiered on. Well done me. We had to be at the bridge by 5am which we were and then we went in an started to climb the 2000 steep steps to the entrance of Mp that opened at 6am. It wasn't th...

We got up pretty early to be picked up for our first day of the inca jungle trek and as per usual things ran on Peruvian time and thus it was 7.30 before we were picked up. In the can were 2 Americans Tyler & Bobby, a Canadian, Troy, and a Ozzie called Sass. We later picked up 2 Israelis called Orion and Ayalaand the team was complete bar the guide Jeider.
