Protestors in Peru

We didn´t get to go to the Sacred Valley today because protestors are blocking the way out of Cusco and apparently this can get quite dangerous. So, instead we saw some Inca ruins in town and visted a Sun temple. We enjoyed the sunshine and I have to say that it was nice to be standing up rather than being horizontal in my bed sipping rehydration salts. We do leave for Ollantaytambo tonight which is our last bed and shower before we start the Inca Trail tomorrow. The protestors likely won´t have the road blocked then, so we should be fine. All in all, I finally feel like the trip has started...or will start when we leave tonight. Hope all is well in Canada or wherever you may be!
