OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH YEAAAAHHHHHHH!!!



If anyone can guess where the title is from, then we are prepared to kidnap a llama for you. It is day 6ish and we leave for the Inca Trail tomorrow. We have been doing practice hikes pretty much everyday to get out legs and lungs use to the conditions here. Two nights ago we were dorming with two guys who had just finished the trail that day, when they took their shoes and socks off, their entire feet were one big bandage.




We also just got back from a tour of the Sacred Valley. It was a full day in which we got to visit markets and climb to ruins. In one of the towns(Pisac) there was an impressive market, but while all the older people in the tour went and bought things, we climbed to one of the Inca ruins that we had seem coming there. We made it up and down(500m) in one hour. We had to run down the mountain to make the bus. Right now we are both thinking about the Inca Trail and hoping that we arent the lest fit people in our tour. Apparently people start at one location and then you go at your own pace. There is a person in the very front and at the very back to make sure the group is always together. But if you are the last one, everyone waits for you at the checkpoints. So while the fit people get a little break, the unfit people do a continuous hike.




We have about 350-400 pictures already and we havent even started the trail yet. Unfortunately Colin forgot his USB cables at home and I dropped my camera so we are unable to upload anything at the moment. I´m just going to post a pictures very similar to one of ours to show everyone what kind of things we saw in the Sacred Valley.


hmm, it wont let me upload anymore pictures so this is all that you get for now. We have to go to a meeting with our entire Inca Trail group to talk over things, we dont know what, but it will at least give us an opportunity to meet everyone who we are hiking with(and judge their fitness aswell).


Alright, I guess thats it for now, we wont be updating til about the 20th, so everyone have a good weekend, and we´ll update as soon as we can. Also have to mention that the last post was brilliant, who actually saw the Fresh Prince coming, I mean really.... hilarious.
