Hayden Does The World: Machu Picchu

This blog started out as a recollection of my trip around Europe in 2010-11. That trip was inspired by the thought of a reunion with my cousins. However, being the busy adults they were, in the midsts of discussions, they were forced to drop out. Now where did that leave me? Did I still want to go it alone, when that was the issue that had stopped me from travelling all those other times? Seeing their situation, I knew I didn't want to look back and wish that I had travelled when I had the time. So on that rare stroke of decisiveness, I bought my ticket, just in case I reconsidered (which I usually did). And that's all there is to it. This blog is to document the worldly travels of Hayden as he explores the unknown.

Mission: To have the most amazing time seeing the world whilst I'm still young enough to not care so much about the future.

The highs and lows of the Inca Trail...

Day 30
The long-awaited day had arrived - I was starting the Inca Trail today! Linh and I had booked through Loki Travel at a base cost of $400USD each plus a porter to carry our belongings for an extra $110USD for the four days. There are many tour operators offering packages for the Inca Trail but this one seemed to be the cheapest plus it had great reviews. I guess a downside though was that it was a pretty big group (22 people) so it wasn't as intimate and personalised as some of the other groups I saw on the trail. Nevertheless, it was a good group of people to spend four days trekking with!
