Day 38
The bus to Copacabana left early, so I only was able to get three hours of sleep last night. Luckily, it was the most comfortable bus I had ridden in so far with nice seats and plenty of legroom, so I had no problem falling asleep almost as soon… Read More »
About a week ago, Rohit asked some interesting questions. I don't think everyone will see the answers if I responded by commenting, so I'll create an entry just for the answers.
1) what people(hostel and places you visit) think of US of A?
Generally, most of the travelers I have met don't have a… Read More »

Day 37
After sleeping so much yesterday, I woke up shortly after sunrise. I had a small breakfast, said goodbye to my host family, and got back onto the tour boat. Amantani was a tranquil place with a great view of the lake, but I was still glad… Read More »

Day 36
Today I started my two-day-long tour of some of the islands on Lake Titicaca near Puno. Not really knowing what to expect, I stocked up on water, packed a few essential supplies, and took a short bus trip to the lake, where I boarded a boat with twenty five… Read More »

Day 35
After waking up and packing up all of my stuff, I said goodbye to Cusco this morning. I had been in the area for almost two weeks, so it felt good to move on.
The bus ride to Puno was really long and slow. I went during the day… Read More »

Day 34
It's impossible to sleep here. For the last two nights, there hasn't been any room at my hostel except in the big dorms. I didn't think it would be too bad, but I didn't realize that people never sleep here. Every day, lots of people have to get up… Read More »

Day 33
I didn't do much today other than catch up on my blog, pictures, sleep, and personal hygiene. I had been away from civilization for six days, so it was a much needed day of rest.
I knew it was Halloween, but I didn't expect much to happen here in… Read More »

This was the earliest morning of the trip. We had to get up at 3:45, while it was still dark. Eating breakfast was a chore, but everyone was in a good mood because they were finally going to get to see Machu Picchu.
After getting everything ready to go,… Read More »

Day 31
Today, we had to get up at 5:15. The toughest day was already behind us, but this day proved to be the longest with ten hours of hiking. I didn't really feel any better or worse in the morning. I just took some more drugs and left, realizing that… Read More »

Day 30
There would be no relief from the relentless barrage of early morning wake-ups. This morning we had to get up at 5:45, right after dawn. Once again, I still felt sick. I think I slept a lot, but at soon as I woke up, I started coughing. I ate… Read More »
