The bad news

We have just had a briefing with Leo our guide for the next week and instead of starting out tomorrow at 7am, we will be starting at 4am!!! It would appear that tomorrow is a big protest day and we have to get an hour and a half away from Cusco before all main routes are blocked by lorry drivers protesting at the price of petrol.

The photo shows our trekking itinerary. He explained that we would have a horse with us all the way in case of fatigue or problems with altitude. Let's hope we are all OK.

Anyway, enough is enough for now as its time to sort out our bags, go out for dinner and have an early night. We've got a long day ahead of us tomorrow, 4 hours driving followed by 4/5 hours walking. Can't wait to get to the lodge and soak the day away in the jacuzzi.
