We did it!

Well, that was a lot harder than we were expecting to say the least!

We finally finished the Inca Trail yesterday morning in the pouring rain, soaked to the skin and extrememly tired, but I think it is fair to say that we couldn´t be happier. Neither of us are reknowned as the fitest people in the world, but we´ve managed to drag our carcases over 46Km going up over a height of 4200m - Per/Zelda your warnings of how hard it were didn´t quite do it justice!

I´ll put up a full post with pictures as soon as I get a decent Internet connection.

Haven´t seen any goats yet on our travels I´m afraid Joe, I´ll get a nice close up of an Alpaca for you ;)

Good work guys!
I do recall though, that everytime i mentioned that the inca trail was hard work, you said that since you guys were walking at least 10 miles every weekend it wasn't gonna be a problem... :-)
Congrats though!

What fantastic photos. You'll have some wonderful tales to tell about your travels when you're old and grey.

Oops! sorry,I forgot you had the big three o birthday so you are old now, and come to think of it you're grey too! Ah well you can tell us all the tales of your intrepid journey when you get home then.

Much love, Mum x
