Huyatara and our new friends

Despite our initial sadness that were not going to be able to cycle for a few days, today has quite simply been awesome! And its only 4pm our time!
The day started with a very successful hunt for breakfast (desayuno) which yielded bread, cheese, cookies, pineapple juice and tea de cocoa (apparently this actually leaves traces of cocaine in your body for 2days, but is awesome for altitude... So they say... Will try our hardest not apply for any jobs in the near future!)
Then we wondered around the mountain town and found a viewing point, and two lovely young peruvians (Yeraldine and Inna) who we got chatting to. A few photos later and the four of us had hopped into a car to drive to the inka ruins at the top of a mountain (about 45min away) at Yeraldine's recommendation. What a wonderful spare of the moment trip that took us to such a beautiful place (and inadvertently helped with the altitude training at 3800m!).
So we're now back at the ranch chilling for a bit listening to the dude in the room above us play some awesome acoustic guitar... The best music we've heard so far!
On that note (ha ha!)... Peru is NEVER quiet... Always hustle, bustle, chitter chatter, taxi horns (these play all manner of what can only be described as ice cream van music), music with very loud base that sounds like a party, but is actually just some dude with a ghetto blaster and a poor taste in music... And thus this latest development the nicest of them all...
Emma and Ant Zen out whilst listening to soft guitar.
Hugs to all xxx
