It took almost 24 hours before we got to bed that night ... we caught a bus to Aguas Callientes (cute little town nestled in a deep valley about 8kms from Machu Picchu with a very tasteful snake water feature), then a train to Km82 and then another bus, finally arriving in Cusco about 2 am.
It was then I noticed my feet had swollen so badly I couldn't tell my calves from my ankles .. I HAD CANKLES!!! Belinda was reduced to hysterics and called them Shrek feet ...
I tried compression bandages - only I left a gap and a weird balloon of flesh bulged out making me look more Elephant Man than loveable ogre ..to add to the delightful look I was also dotted with bleeding insect bites and sun burnt ... very attractive .. it took three days for the swelling to go down ..
