Tuesday
Altitude sickness hasn´t really affected me much, except that I haven´t been sleeping the whole night.
Our day of touring the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Saw lots of Inca ruins and sites that I won´t bore you with here. Shopped at a large local market over lunch. Arrived in Ollantaytambo which is a small inca town quite well preserved and very authentic. Bright inca clothes everywhere.
Was 6th January which is Epiphany and a cultural holiday in catholic Peru. Everybody dresses up and dances in processions through the main streets of the towns and wrecks havoc on the traffic. They even chase you with bags of flour to dust you off.
Most of the tour group have got some form of food poisoning or altitude sickness. Trying hard, but I think its going to be hard to avoid it with communal facilites on the hike.
