I awoke this morning to a loud knocking at my hostel door. I immediately got up and the girl was telling me through the door that it was 5:30 am and she had forgotten to wake me up at 4:30 like I had asked. SHIT!
Today I woke up really bummed out. I was really upset over my photos and didn’t want to get out of bed. I decided to watch some episodes of Survivor on iTunes to make myself feel better. It distracted me for a while, but didn’t cure my mood. I have always tried to make sure all my actions had good intentions and that I am a good-person.
The bus arrived to Puno around 5:30 am and I gathered my luggage and walked inside the bus terminal. I couldn’t walk 5-feet without somebody trying to sell me their hostel to stay at or a tour to Lake Titicaca. I usually refuse to stay at the hostels they advertise because they are usually substandard in quality and mostly vacant.
I got up around 10 am and lurked around the hostel for a bit. I took a shower and ate the same hostel breakfast as I did yesterday. Around noon I was finally ready to head out and visit Sacsayhuaman, a nearby ruins site. I asked at the counter how much a taxi would be to get there and walked outside with my camera gear in my backpack to find a taxi.
Today I woke up really late. Casey and I both laid in bed for a very long time. Finally, around noon, we got up to eat breakfast. They are laid back at this hostel so even though it was past breakfast time, they still made it for us. It consisted of an egg (however you wanted it), bread, jam, butter, orange drink, coffee, chocolate, and/or tea.
