Day 54 – Planning ahead

Not a particualary active day today but still been busy.

In the morning we had our trek briefing and met our guide. All seems pretty straight forward, bar a few early starts and climbing up to 4600m on the second day.

In the afternoon we headed down to the statue of the Inca warrior King Pachacuteq. There we climbed up to the top of the base and enjoyed views of the city.

Returning to the hostel we spent the evening booking cars and hostels for New Zealand. So far we´ve got the South Island sorted, including a bungy in Queenstown, more details to follow!

Sabbatical 2008

After many years of thinking about travelling I'm going for it. Fortunately my work allow me to take a sabbatical and continue in my job when I return.

I'll be travelling with my good friend Tom. Over 4 months we'll be taking in parts road tripping through America, diving in the Galapagos, Trekking the Inca Trail, exploring New Zealand and Australia

I'll be updating this blog as much as I can so stay tuned.

About this blog

Welcome to the personal blog of Robert A J Ford, a professional interaction designer and developer based in the UK.

I started this blog in 2007 to record my cycle training leading up to the Etape. I've never been one for diaries but this format works well with my job and lifestyle so I expanded it to record details of other training and events.

As the blog grew it became a space where friends and family followed my activities. Their feedback has inspired me to keep writing. I hope you find something of interest and please feel free to leave comments.
