re: The view from my "office"
So you made it to the top of Huayna Picchu, then? Way to go RF!
And it looks like it was a nice day.
Well, um ... no to the first point
. The first afternoon was cloudy and we (me and guide) walked all over; I assessed the HP walk and had my doubts, especially as I got perfectly good over-view shots from the 'Guards house' high point (my panorama pic) which is about half the height of HP. That evening, I met up with a couple who were on the Galapagos cruise who attempted HP that day and it sounded like a muddy, vertigo-inducing horror story.
As I suffer from a touch of vertigo myself, was out to prove nothing, had no desire to wreck myself on 'holiday' and probably fail in the attempt, I didn't bother the next morning. The day started out with light clouds and thin sun, so I re-did all the photos from the previous day; in late morning the clouds went for a an hour or two, so I 'scampered' up the hills and did many of the pics yet again, and included the walk up/out to the Inca bridge.
My doc would be well pleased with the exercise that day!
Long eyelashes, nice teeth, pretty smile, I hope she doesn't bite RF
They were well behaved, except when a bunch of USA 'college' type guys decided that riding one would be fun; the guy got kicked, unfortunately not where it would hurt most. Another lady, from Japan I thought, tried to feed them some chip type thing and got molested by both llamas on duty at that point. Serves her right too.
