Driving on towards Cusco

We didn’t have the best night, but I'm sure we slept better than those who stayed on the truck.  We were woken at 5am by people chatting outside, so we got up.  They all said we'd made the right decision!  They said that trying to sleep on the truck, sitting up, surrounded by 20 other people, was pretty grim!

My cook group was on breakfast duty this morning.  We did French toast, as well as the usual fruit, cereal, etc.  It seemed to go down well.

We were all ready early, but Nikki and Ritchie seemed reluctant to leave.  We finally got back on the road at 7.30am.

We drove through lush valleys with rivers surging through them before we began to climb into the mountains once more.

At about 10.30am, we got stuck at some roadworks.  Ritchie said that they had been ongoing for months and that we should expect a delay of several hours before they let us through!  Luckily, we were stopped just next to a garage with toilets!  In the event, they opened the road at 1pm, so just a two and a half hour wait!Read more
