We safely arrived in Cusco a little after nine this morning, meaning that we we nearly two hours ahead of schedule, and THANK GOD! Twenty hours in a bus was absolutely no fun. I definitely got motion sick during the night, but Eric saved me with some calming music to put me to sleep for a while. It´s amazing what having something different to focus on can do. But the constant swaying of a bus plus switchbacks for, oh, 17 hours of the trip did it´s number on me.
And since Cusco is a mountain city we´re also adjusting to the altitude. Between that and the bus ride we decided to sleep all this afternoon to recover, which is what The Book say to do. Now we´re exploring our hostel, Hostel Loki Cusco, which is much more of a young, Aussie crowd from what I can tell. We´re up on a hill overlooking the city and the view is GORGEOUS! I can´t wait to watch a sunrise-it may rival my favorite in Athen´s Greece, but that´s a pretty high standard. I´ll upload pictures when I can.
We´re hanging out in Cusco for about 5 days before we head out on the Inka Trail.
Much Love,
Meghan & Eric
