Ive tried writing this SEVERAL TIMES! so im just going to do bullet points now and give u details on them later and i wont do it in order haha SORRY!
- colca canoyon amazing and a lot of great scenery1 managed to see some condors aswell! hiking was great and the hotel was right by the mountains although was the home of a very angry lama that spat on me several times!
-inca trail so testing ( we camped not everyone does so no toilets or showers for 3 days!) and had many problems with the group and the guide (the canadian woman sufffered from altitude so she struggled a hell of a lot, i dont feel bad for her though as she bragged about climbing mount kilimanjaro and havign all the right equipment and when I said well I'm not going to rent anything cos I'm poor and I'm just going to "rough it" she rolled her eyes at me..pah! and so the guide had to stay with her and we wondered off) and the german girls refused to eat and drink as they didnt want to go to the "squatters" haha. We played 20 questions to keep on going and distract us. The porters carried our stuff (25 kilos each) including food and our tents and everything and ran the whole way in sandals even when it was pooring it down with rain! The food was great and abundant an they pput little bowls of water outside our tents in the morning to wash (so sweet!) they also gave us happy hour at 5 (popocorn and hot drinks!!!) the record of the inca trail is held by a porter (3.30 hours AMAZING!) Anyway so lots and lots of drama with diane (canadian woman) and the guide because we were left without one which we totally understood but apparentely we were ment to have an assistant guide (assistant guides are ment to be there in case these situations arise!) so we didnt feel as if we shoudlt ip nancy because she was never with us and she was a bloody annoying woman all she di was say CHICAAAAAAAS HIGH FIVE U MADE IT. and asked me if I wanted a picture when she woke me up at 5 oclock in the morning to which I replied are u crazy? She tried to make us wait for diana but we were jjuust getting soaking wet and there were no shelters so we told her we HAD to keep on going just to be warm again! But then diane made a huge deal saying we were accusing her of ruining our trip but we werent christ anyway BIG DRAMA but I LOVED IT! because i pushed the group to the max I was the exact same as my mum HAHA! i wwas going positive energy guys bottttoms in!!! stomach in and lets go! dont think about the cold POSITIVE ENERGY PEOPLE and i just pushed on. me and rachel became very very close during this trip as we shared a tent! Also we met a crazy guy called Jack from england who was 29? and ran the whole way and then back again because he was bored..he overlapped us about 3 times CRAZY! we called him eager beaver jack! he went back several campsites and did it all over again hahaha!!!!
Macchu picchu was incredible and the feeling of having achieved something was even greater!
- after macchu picchu and inca trail the main thing was CUSCO cusco is gorgeous such a great town but especialy great night life hahah! and seriously drinking in altitude is not a good idea as after one pisco sour your head is spinning aslready! we went xlubbing 3 times in cusco with our guide aswell and he gave us free drinks cos he knew all the owners of the club!
-JUNGLE! so hot and humid and impossible to get to (also we were all hungover after cusco!!) we had to get a flight then a bus then a boat! VERY LONG! we got there in the evening but the boat ride was fun! we got ther ein the evning and we chilled in the lodge which was gorgeous but all open...a bit scary ahaha!! as BUGS EVERYWHERE. no hot water or electricity which was fine it was more worryig we had no glass around our rooms or a wall or anything all very open and we could hear what everyone was doing next door (even when they were in the toilets!) i the evning we did a night walk which was scary but very fun! and a night boat ride! next day we fed pirannas on a boat then walked around a while climbed a tour for a ncie view and saw some monkeys tucans and also the biggest rodent in the world (cant remember the name) and also some wierd birds! then we walked around a farm and tried some fruits from the jungle and then saw some of the biggest trees (one of them is this special tree that growns from another one and eats it up very wierd so you walk into it and its a tree thats eaten another one up hard to explain!)
- next main thing is lake tititaca we did this through PUNO! a very small town and pretty dead but as it was one of our last nights we decided to go CRAZY! i swear the bar we were in never saw anything like that before.
running out of time to BE CONTINUED!
