Almost Home

What a day…wake up at 11,120 feet, in the mountains to sunshine and sad goodbyes as some of our group are staying on in Cusco. We fly to Lima, overcast and cool – for a tour of the city and a great meal at laRosa Nautica on the beach….what an experience…waves crashing to the shore under us, great food and service and washrooms with all the services. Our flight is delayed in Lima as we wait for a connection flight

I Made It

after 4 fantastic days of climbing steep mountains, descending steep steps, camping out, reaching the 4,200 peak with dehydration symptoms and finally making the steep climb to the gateway to the sun we arrived in machu picchu this morning at 7 am. It was fantastic….I can´t believe how challenging the climb was and I feel absolutely excited about making it. Great group, attentive guides and porters, good food and sore muscles…..but it was worth it. Can´t wait to share my photos and stories. YAHOO
