You know, the internet is an amazing thing. I'm in Cuzco, Peru and have just checked in to the Hostal, there is an open wireless access point [thus this post!] ...quite amazing really, Imagine this concept ten years ago!?...
So, two days from now and laptop will be packed away with almost everything else I have with me, and we'll be getting on a bus to head out to the start of the Machu Pichu trail.. To be completely honest, i'm not looking forward to it... I'm the most unfit person I know.. so, well, we shall see... If you hear of a search and rescue for a lost Australian tourist, chances are it's me.
Thus far I have embraced Peruvian culture, taking time out to feast on roast guinea pig and Alpacca steaks amongst other stuff that I couldn't identify.. There are ninety something various types of potato in Peru, so, as i'm a lover of that particular veggie, i'm loving it... sort of
I have had my morning Coca Tea and a nurofen+ and still have a residual headache... Altitude is getting the better of me. I think Cusco is actually higher than Machu Pichu but parts of the trek [Dead Womans Pass] are considerably higher.. I have some energy bars and a good old waterflask, should be right, right?
Anyways, time to go and wander around Cusco... here's a photo I took yesterday [Above] Cute kid, eh...

You're not looking forward to it? Yes you are, that's what you came for. I'm incredibly unfit also but I'd still be all excited. I mean, sure, I'd run out of puff after 5 minutes and need a break (that's what happened when I climbed that hill! Hahaha? but I'm sure I'd get there EVENTUALLY. You'll be fine man! Just pretend you're full of fitness!
Apart from that, I tend to think about how amazing the internet is quite often...
I can only explain it as magic.
