As you may have noticed, no blog posts, then several at once. I am catching up. Last week we were a write-off. Cusco is situated at 3300m above sea level, as such most travellers suffer from some sort of altitude sickness on arrival. We got it bad! Maybe the speed of the bus meant we didn't acclimatise on the way in, maybe we were still a bit jet lagged and that impacted, either way for three days we were were sick, tired, dizzy, breathless, throw in some suspected food poisoning for me too and all in all not a happy few days. Our hostel is situated in the lovely San Blas area of town, which is quite arty and relaxed,unfortunately it's also up a very big hill so been even when we make the crawl out for some food (we have tiny appetites) its a tough stair climb home. The steps are good prep for the Inca Trail but we could have done with feeling a lot fitter for it!
