Back to Cusco

Here we are again, sitting on the train. Today, we are going back to Cusco. First, we'll take the train to Ollantaytambo, then we will try to find a cheap collectivo heading to Cusco. 

I feel like we are bleeding money here, paying a lot extra for things because we don't know the going rate. We've also been taken in by promises of free wifi and breakfast. This morning, when I asked the woman at the hostel about breakfast, she led me to the luggage room. For about 5 seconds, I actually thought that the luggage room doubled as a breakfast room.

No, no it did not.

I no longer wanted to be at that place. I hefted my bag up onto my back and practically lept to the door. Of course, I wasn't able to open it. The hostel woman had to come help me. Embarrassing. I actually felt relief once outside.

It's simple. Don't call yourself a B&B if you don't provide breakfast. And don't offer hot water or wifi if you don't actually have it.                                         

Aaarghh.  Thus ends my rant.

The train has begun to move, and I am awaiting my train snack. At least the train isn't going to let me down. I'm starving and looking forward to that dry, pre-packaged muffin with no discernible flavor.
