For a few years now I've had the dream to hike the inka trail to Machu Picchu. This year it became reality. Monday 5am the adventure began. And what an adventure it was! To be close to nature, to hear almost only the birds, to be under, surrounded by and over the clouds! Climbing up and down the mountains - oh boy, it was a real challenge.
After the first day I really doubted to be able to continue the tail, because I am all but not an athletic woman. But due to the huge motivation skills of our guide, the humour and good mood of the other group members, I finalized the trail. Now my legs are hurting, I can't go another step. But - I am so glad and happy that I realized my dream.
I will always remember not only my jelly legs but the unbelievable wonderful nature around Machu Picchu!
