Bus tripping

It´s time to leave Arequipa. Our next stop: Cusco, were we'll visit the Sacred Valley and Machu Pichu. We are really looking forward it and we all know that something special is going to happen up there...but before that there is a 12 hours bus trip to get there, so here we are, in the station waiting for our bus. In a moment we were into a surrealistic situation: a young peruvian guy started talking to me in a very nice way (well, we had the typical conversation: where are you from, where are you going...), but when this boy realized that Stefano was italian, he got nuts!! He kept saying "Arrivederci, arrivederci..!!! look, he understands me!!! Arrivederci!!" and he was like that for the next five minutes. Meanwhile, a middle age peruvian couple sat down next to us and they started talking to us about the jungle, natural medicine and how they can help on your health...we kept that nice and interesting conversation till the bus arrived at the station. That couple was going to Cusco too, so we went together to the bus and we left our italian speaker friend with his own thoughts.

Here it comes the funny thing of the trip: we were already on the way to Cusco, sitting on the front, when suddenly a really disgusting smell filled the bus: someone forgot that the bus toilet was only for "little business" and made such a good job that everyone could apreciate...People on the bus was crazy and finally the bus had to stop to open all the windows and clean it...disgusting!! later on we figured out that the creator was a charmy young girl cause one of the passengers told her: "you were the one! you made two, should go and clean it!!" she just passed and besides she ruined Stefano's trip cause she kept talking the whole trip with his friend and didn¡t allow Ste to sleep...we all send our warmest greetings to that girl!
But finally we arrived at Cusco and something diferent was going on arround us, energy, mistery...don't know, but the feeling was so good! I think lots of stories are going to happen to us in Cusco, we'll let you know!
