We went on holiday to Peru and walked the Inca Trail. More in due course but in the interim have a photo of Machu Picchu.

Congrats on the walk. That's a view worth hiking for. :-)

It was - the distance was fine, but there was a lot of steep up and down...

Hello from the same time zone, for once. I'm in Cambridge for a conference.

Also, please see email, when you get a chance to catch up.

[purplecat]

I've been rushing around like mad catching up but will get to your email at the weekend at the latest.

[a_cubed]

No problem. I just didn't want it to get lost in the week-long backlog of email.

From Heathrow waiting for the plane home.

Oh, nifty! I look forward to more photos and your account of things!

[purplecat]

I have extracted B's photos from him to go with mine, so I hope to do some sorting at the weekend.

[vivdunstan]

Oh wow! Look forward to seeing more pics/details.

[purplecat]

I aspire to start posting next week - need to do some photo sorting first.

Wow

Inca ruins are a bit mad, one just stumbles across them in the jungle.

So lovely!

[purplecat]

Thanks!

Incredible!

[purplecat]

It was amazing!

Fantastic! I've always wanted to visit Machy Picchu.

[purplecat]

Definitely worth a visit, though I wish we'd also had time to get to some of the relevant museums - there is zero by way of interpretation at the site.

Fantastic, hope you had a great time. Bacchus did that when he went there in one of the summer vacations at Oxford. I've been to Lima twice for work, but never got to Machu Picchu. We both would love to go back there to do the Inca Trail together, not to mention to sample all the lovely Peruvian food again!

Depending upon the state of your knees, I would recommend sooner rather than later if you want to do it - although weirdly the bit we found hardest (knee-wise) was getting in and out of the tent.
