On the road, on the roof

The bus driver was waiting for a gropu of children. We were in Santa Teresa, a little town on the way from Machu Pichu (at least if you take the economical route). He said that even though the van was little and there were 16 little ones coming there would be place also for us. Until then lazy sunday after the great Machu Pichu experience, soon to be told too, sitting out covering from the sun like everyione else did tgere... After a delay of around three hours according to the time he promised to leave, the driver waved us from the end of the street. We started walking and soon we could see that the little van was packed with children. No problem; look up, look down, just one possibility: the roof. I said it as a half-joke to the other idiotas but the driver just looked at us and said, up up!

5 MINUTES AFTER...

Driver -Lay down, police!
Stefano laying inf ront-right side, Sergio left-front, Hector on the back. The three idiotas were travelling at a height of more than 2000 meters through serpentinean roads on the roof of a van. On the road...
Diver - Make yourselves comfortable!
So we did, sitting on the roof, waving to the people on th greatest trip so far. Many would have had paid a lot, we paid a single bus trip (6 soles). Amazing mountain views, excitement, children talking to us and singing below... and no film in camera... But no way we can forget..

It took one hour, I wish it could have been longer..
