Welcome to my travels. On this site you'll find recent trips and some very old trips. You'll note that for some trips I wrote very detailed reports (at least in the beginning), for others, I didn't even take notes of where I was on what dates. Nevertheless, I've done my best to document, to the extent I can, all of my major trips.

Day 6

Machupicchu, Peru

Another day of trekking ... and one on which I thought I'd never get through. It wasn't the uphill portions that did me in, but rather the 1,000 Inca steps down from the last pass to the hostel near the ruins of Winay Wayna. Really, I've never felt my legs shake like that before.

Machupicchu, Peru

Today we made it over Dead Woman's Pass, the highest we'll climb, and spent the night camping near the Runturacay ruins

Day 4

Machupicchu, Peru

First we take the train, passing through Ollantaitambo to Kilometer 88 near the Llactapata ruins, and hike to the Three White Stones campsite, which may or may not be near Wayllabamba. My companion gets altitude sickness but fortunately at the campsite is a fancy-shmancy tour group and they have oxygen.

Day 3

Cusco, Peru

Finally, a change of scenery. Arrive in Cusco, become friendly with a woman from Vancouver and we agree to hire a guide to take us on the Inca Trail beginning tomorrow. Overnight at the Hotel Suica II.
