7th July 2012: Mini hike

First day mini hike...after morning checking out the place...set off for lunch, and armed with a stomach full of food, attacked a mini hill from which you have a gorgeous view of Cuzco from an elevation...quick hike down, and follow that up with a wild goose chase to get water purifying tablets...end up getting some, but the tiny pill is for 20 litres...!!!! Ava bizin fer coma dan second, fer fraction...!!!! And to finish off the day, what better than a freshly squeezed melon, peach and passion fruit juice....prob the tastiest freshly squeezed juice I've had in my life...!!!!! And they also sell sandwiches and burgers and open till midnite, and literally a 5 mins walk from the hotel...assuming I don't get lost...:P

    Kervyn Robert Koa Wing There's never enough eating. But yeah, let the hiking begin, although that doesn't start proper until we do the Inca trail.heading off to lake titicaca today.relaxing more than anything else, although there will be a mini hike there in theory.

    Melvyn Koa Wing It's just a rodent. Part of the rat family. Eats a bit of everything. When travelling, do as the locals do! A bit of coca leaves will make it good
