Road trip to cusco

This morning we had a bit of a lie in, and at about 7:15am, we ventured down to breakfast, which consisted of scrambled eggs, bread rolls, jam, coca tea and orange juice. After breakfast we went back to our room to organise our stuff and have our last hot power shower! We then waited downstairs for our bus. As usual the bus was running late, so we called up and they said they were having problems, and would be to us in 10mind. Eventually the Peru hop guide turned up, 1 hour late!! We boarded the small bus from Puno to Julianca, where we stopped for lunch. Libby and Hannah order a Traditional meal each, which when it arrived was a huge steak, enough for 3 people! with a fried egg, chips and rice! Very filling!! After a long wait for the larger bus which would take us to Cusco, we hit the road again. We were now running 2hours late. After around 4 hours into our journey to cusco, the bus came to a sudden halt, everyone peered out the windows to find the driver with his tools out, we had broken down! We continued to watch our film with little information about what was happening, however after around 40mins and a few tries we were off once again. But not for long, we stopped again, but luckily mostly into the petrol station, until the driver fixed the bus again. We then headed the other hour and a half to Cusco, arriving 3 hours late. Peru hop but us in a taxi and paid for us to get to our hostel. We checked into Milhouse hostel, a very large hostel with a lively bar and a series of large relaxing court yards. We are in a 4 person room, our room mates are a Brazilian couple who seem sweet. We are just heading to bed now, ready for an early start for our flight to the Amazon!! We are super excited!! 

Unfortunately we won't have any internet whilst in the Amazon for the next 5 days, but as soon as we get back to civilisation we will update you on our Amazon adventures.
