14/01/2012 - Day 2 of Peruvian Jungle Trek

Another early morning start having to pack our things up and head for breakfast and then make our way on part of the Inca trail through the mountain passes following the river below the town.
Our group were faster than most so we overtook a few groups through the ups and downs of the Peruvian mountains.
Our lunch break was had in a tiny little village were we had some excellent food that did not have any rice (for a change)
Arrived at the hot springs to soak up the aches and pains from hiking for 7 hours were we had the option to go to Santa (sorry, forgot the name) by foot or by bus, we all took the wheeled option was more hiking for the day would have broken me.
After a terrible dinner (of rice) we were offered Inca Tequila, not the best stuff and in no way was it anything like tequila - essentially it was cheap and horrible rubbing alcohol with some salt and lemon on the side.
The evening consisted of some of us playing some drinking games in the hostel and going out to the discotek meeting some others on other tours – all the itineraries for all the companies are exactly the same, its just whether you can find the best deal.
