Canyonero!

So I last left off in Arequipa I think. We took a 3 day tour into the Colca Canyon. Our guide Miguelito kept us entertained the whole trip. At the bottom of the canyon we stayed in these little villaged serviced by mule trains, quite an adventure. The hike though the distance wasn´t too great was pretty brutal. Lora took a mule up the last day and I attempted to go at it but was pretty winded at the top. On our return our bus travelled very slowly and had a flat. We arrived at the hostel with 15 minutes to get to our bus. We hauled ass and got a crazy cab driver to get us there five minutes late. We made it! On the bus every seat was full plus the driver stopped to jam the bus full of people in the aisles. As a result we were unable to sleep very well. We arrived at Cusco and learned not to take the aggressive cab drivers. He stopped at the bottom of a big hill and said our hostel was at the top. He then tried to get us to fork over more money to bring us to the front! In Cusco I managed to go out on the town after an interesting evening with a few English kids at the hostel bar. Not too exiting but out on the town nonetheless. After a day for me to recover and lora to feel better, today we walked around cusco and saw the sights, but i´ll have to leave that til another time.
