Down, down, down

Salkantay Trek day 2, part 2. We were at 15,190ft and had to walk down to 9514ft. It was about 2 hours down then lunch time. We felt very lively at this point since we hadn’t walked up the Gringo Killer like the rest of the team. However, continuing after lunch was brutal. So so so far down! My toes be hurting and I’m just over looking down at my feet! I had to adopt new walking methods to keep things interesting. With such an early morning we managed to walk all 16miles before 5pm. We are staying in a little triangle hut tonight and get to have a little electricity for charging. Can’t miss taking pics of the views! We had dinner as a team as usual and then played a Peruvian game of throwing coins in holes for points, a mix of beer pong and bean bags kinda. The food is actually really great and our chef for the week is, according to Vlad, the best chef in the mountains. I have to say he may be right. We get new meals each time and such a large variety, I find something good each time!もっと詳しく
