I´M AT: Alburgue Churup, Huaraz. $13 in twin room, $6 in dorm. Very relaxed, gentle smell of burnt pines, two common rooms with DVD in one, bit mean on the breakfast.
We turned up in Huaraz in plenty of time for Thursday and Friday night and so, with intentions of hitting the town for a couple of nights - acclimatisation time, you understand, no hiking for 48 hours - we got some quick sleep, after the night bus from Trujillo had given us none. Mark had been feeling a bit shaky for a couple of days and I got a bit achy just before we got on the bus.
For the next 72 hours I didn´t know which part of my body to point at the toilet, but whatever came out, it was the colour of Inca Kola - bright, merciless yellow. The lights and sounds of the weekend tapped on the window but I couldn´t really decide if it was night or day. Aborted attempts to walk into town were followed by a collapse into bed, again.
This has been a right pain, as both of us have lost weight, strength and stamina, and now just walking up to breakfast is difficult. Over the next few days I need to get my appetite back and start walking properly again before finally getting around to the hikes.
Read a couple of good books, though.
