3.45 am

Early start today off to Machu Picchu town, not the Inca remains.
Yesterday we visited the Sacred Valley and walked through the lost City of Pisaq. Walked for three hours from3800 meters down to 3600 meters. It was steep in many places and some places more suited Sheep! We could see the Inca terraces for growing crops and many of the ruins of Inca villages.  The sheer scale was what we found amazing, over 1000 acres. A lot of the terraces are being restored by volunteers.
Last night we samples Alpaca steak and some of the group enjoyed, I think, the crispy guineapig.
Doing this quickly we don't get much free time. This first hotel is lovely as are our fellow travellers, there are 14 of us in total.
We have been based in Cusco which was the Inca capital till the Spaniards decided to take over. The old part around The Plaza is not only beautiful but fascinating.
Got to go now as our coach arrives at 4:45 am an I need to get dressed!
Love xx
