The bus to Cusco

We decided on Tepsa, it was voted Peru´s nost safest bus and it was a hell of alot cheaper then Cruz Del Sur, they really do take security seriously, not only are you videotaped and scanned with a metal detector, but they also fingerprint you! The bus was miles better then any of the buses I´ve been on nearly a full cama (bed).

Well after 23 hours 45 minutes (Almost 24 hours) we arrived in Cusco a few hours behind schedule due to an avalanche that blocked the road, over 3 hours we waited while bulldozers cleared the road. The bus journey was the windiest I´ve ever been on and some poor kid was sick the entire trip, I really felt for him.

Eventually arrived in Cusco at an altitude of 3400 metres or thereabouts and even going up a set of stairs would leave you out of breath!

Tonight we ventured into the Irish pub as we were told it was a really good one..The Wild Rover, it was a nice break to get some Irish pub food, so a Chicken Curry and a Shepards pie were well deserved but we didn´t last past 9.30 as we are absolutely drained. The coca leaves and tea certainly help with the altitude.

I´ll try and get some sleep....my poor laptops harddrive died...shit happens!
