Well the porters managed to drive through the night via a back route to reach Ollyantumbo in time for our departure. good news since even a one day delay would have voided out our trail permits. We have a total of 23 support personnel for our group of 14 travelers. 17 porters, one head porter, a chef, assistant chef, waiter, and 2 guides.
So our bus took us to km 82 on the trail which is where the road ends. the only options for getting to manchu pichu are to hike it from there or catch the train. trains are for wimps.
so we started our 25 mile hike which would take us 3 days. Sounds pretty easy, but as i was to find out, this was not your average 8 mile hike.
We stopped half way and were served trout for lunch and chicken later that day for dinner. I could get used to this.
