Day 67: Living with The Locals
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/SAM_1907_thumb.jpg
Fri. 19th October 2012 This morning we were awoken by the sunlight streaming through the thin light curtains. Before we had time to stir there was a knock at the door from Janelli advising it was breakfast time. Our room …
Day 66: Floating Islands
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/DSC02674_thumb.jpg
Thur. 18th October 2012 I have a memory (real or otherwise) of 1st or 2nd Form Geography and hearing about Lake Titicaca and the people who lived on floating islands. Today, I got to fulfil a longstanding ambition by visiting …
Day 65: Transfer To Puno
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/DSC02581_thumb.jpg
Wed. 17th October 2012 Today we said goodbye to Cusco. We have enjoyed our time here – the parades, the sights, the small town atmosphere, the breakfasts at Jack’s, and particularly the chance to recharge our batteries after the Inca …
Day 64: Cheapskates
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/SAM_1861_thumb.jpg
Tues. 16th October 2012 Of the remaining tourist spots in town I wanted to see inside the Cathedral. It was 25 Sol (£6 each) to go inside and no photos allowed, but we had heard that if you get there early …
Day 63: Cusco, At A Leisurely Pace
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/SAM_1837_thumb.jpg
Mon. 15th October 2012 We did manage to be up in time for breakfast in hotel this morning and do intend to make sure we do not miss out on the main sights of Cusco. We have a couple of …
Day 62: Rest Day
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/DSC02529_thumb.jpg
Sun. 14th October 2012 After the 23 hour day yesterday, it was a very slow start. We did not envy the four members of our group (or the tour leader) who had to be up and out by 9:30 to …
Day 61 (p.m.): The Best Beer In The World
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/DSC02513_thumb.jpg
Sat. 13th October 2012 It seems appropriate to split today’s blog post into two. Machu Picchu deserves a post all to itself and as it turned out, today was a 23 hour day. After we finished at Machu Picchu we …
Day 61 (a.m.): Machu Picchu
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/DSC02460_thumb.jpg
Sat. 13th October 2012 It is 3am and even though I feel like I have just got to sleep there is a cry of ‘good morning’ from outside of the tent. Fortunately we pretty much packed the night before, so …
Day 60: Inca Trail–Pacha Mama
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/SAM_1807_thumb.jpg
Fri. 12th October 2012 It was a cold night. I was in my thermal long-johns and long-sleeved vest with a fleece on top and my woolly hat on snuggled as far into my sleeping bag as I could get and …
Day 59: Inca Trail–Dead Woman’s Pass
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/SAM_1795_thumb.jpg
Thur. 11th October 2012 For most of us, it was a 6:15 alarm call this morning as we have a hard day’s walking ahead of us. However, two of our group had 5am calls – one because she needs a little more …
