Blog - June 6th & 7th 2011
I have arrived in Arica in the north of Chile but without my laptop charger whereever that has disappeared to!!! So looks like my blog is going to be an iPhone 4 production from here on in!
So we are at approx step 5 of a 12 step trip to Cusco! 29hrs on the bus to this point here on the Chile/Peru border. From here it's another hours bus to Tackna in Peru then 10hrs to Arquipa and then a further 7hrs to Cusco, from there another bus, a train, a 2k hike, another train and then Machu Picchu! Its a lot of travel but will be worth it, doubt I will get to climb it on Thursday as I wish but on Friday instead.
The altitude is intense here and will only get higher from here on. Enjoying some sugar-puffs for breakfast this morning which is cool! Ok have to run and catch another bus now..... Until tomorrow....
