Right, after a lot of time without posting, here I am playing catch-up. Photos are still a no-go after a frustrating afternoon spent in Lima trying to get something down from the cards.
Apart from that, things are great: I'm currently in Cusco, still travelling with Sarah, since we seem to have the same devastating sense of humour. We spent a few days in Lima mostly eating seafood and trying to get a bus ride to Cusco, but also dodging flea-bites from the hostal's mangy cat.
Right now, things are looking up: tomorrow should see us heading out to the Valle Sagrado (sacred valley), with its many Inca sites, then to Machu Picchu. We've decided not to bother taking any of the "tourist highway" treks to go there, but rather to do a "private" and more expensive tour of the Lares Valley over the course of 4 days - more nature, more wildlife, less people.
So tomorrow we're off for 3 days in the Valle Sagrado and MP, then 4 days of trekking, after which I should be able to rest for a couple of days (and write emails as well as FINALLY getting some pics up) before attempting another trek - perhaps 6 days around the Nevado Ausangate, although trekking companions for this seem to be in short supply. I may just end up heading down to Arequipa for a shorter trek there or straight to Lago Titicaca.
It's all a bit more rushed here than it really ought to have been, but we're covering a lot of ground before Sarah has to get back to Quito on Friday 8th. Will go more despacio afterwards :-)
