Inca Trail (Day 4)
Made it. 4am wake up call so that we could get a good place in line for the opening at 5:30am we would still need to walk 2km to the sun gate so it was a bit of a ruch to get ahead of the other groups as to claim the pristen glimpses of Manchu Pichu before the buses full of day trippers.
It´s weird the longer the day wore on on the more frustrated I became and more entitled I felt to have an secluded piece of the ruins to myself. I finally lost it when a group of out of shape tourists stared scathing looks at out worn group of trekkers. Presumably I was done hiking and barely considered hiking Waichamiu another 2hour hike to a look out point of switch backs however craving a place away from the flabby freshly showered onlookers I swept past there procession and in my own way telling them were they could go. A light rain that accompanied the morning wake up call returned mid way up the mountain and took from the photograph at the summit but that was secondary to completing the task.
there is something called the 24hour challenge which is that trekkers upon completing the trail stay up till 4am the mext morning while calibrating their accomplishment. Well There was a group that took up and surpassed that challenge... One of those being Carl from Ireland The refrain ¨your a good buy¨ is probably the most memorable next to Carl borrowing money so that he could buy me a drink that I specifically asked him not to buy. However the fun didn´t end there the later the night progressed the more aggressive the woman became.
One set of girls begging Carl and his good buy to come to there hostel. Well this is what I´ve learned. Girls from Lima living in Cusco may be after more than your company. Girls that insit that you go to there hostel or another disco probably have some friends waiting for you before you get there. If you ask a girl if they are a prostitute they really don´t get as mad as a girl ought to if asked that question.

that might be the South American way, depending on the economical status of the people around. Hard to tell, but from what you describe, it looks as if they blend with the tourists or any other people without really showing their real intentions.
As a Latino dude, I find this fascinating. Good thing you spotted it.
unfortunalty I get alot of practice
My naive little brother-you make me laugh!
