Another calm day

We are four hours away from heading for the bus station. Today was spent relaxing in our hostel hammocks planning the next phase of our trip. We have a rough outline for the future and that seems to be the best we can do.

It is amazing to me how much of our lives are spent planning, preparing, eating and cleaning up meals. I have noticed that it occupies my mind for much of the day. The who's what's when's and where's are always on our minds. It is interesting to note as well that no matter how yummy of a foreign dish we have been served we are always craving a good salad which are in short supply here it seems. Most dishes are carbohydrate bonanzas.

For now we are sitting on a sofa at our hostel listening to the hobbit audiobook. Tick tock tick tock.

  1. John Verwoerd asks. Did you walk across that bridge?

    1. I assume you mean the Inca bridge. No we unfortunately were unable to. The bridge was blocked off during the rainy season. We got as close as we could and I think the short hike there may have been our favourite part of Machu Picchu. It was sheer cliff going down one side and going up the other. I wish we could have seen more clearly but the glimpses we did get were breathtaking.
