Glorious morning meant we sat out for breakfast eating porridge and omlette. Really enjoying camping and love the outdoors. Even more fun at altitude - perhaps the wet camping crew should try it out some time. LOL.
We moved on and visited a small village who make a living on subsistance farming (over 4000 potatoe types in Peru) and herding Llama and Alpacka (which are from the camel family). The hut in which they lived was stone and had a thatched roof. I also got to play with some guinea pigs (poor things) who are a food for the locals.
The next xtep was the highpoint of the trek - sorry. A hike up to 4600m. I managed to show everyone a clean set of heels and hit the summit just behind the guide (training in the lakes was a really good idea). The views were fantastic and we all had a sip of whiskey to celebrate. We trekked down into the valley below for a good rest overnight and a couple of sly snickers bars (wow - what have my Friday nights become)
