Time to kill...
I'm down loading the first lot of 130 odd photos on to the net so everyone can have a look, plus this way if I loose the CD I wont commit suicide ;o)
I updated on my trip page last night. Don't know if it makes sense, must admit I wasn't feeling the best when I wrote it but I honestly cant justify been in a different country & sitting in my hotel room... Even if I'm sitting in the internet cafe at least I'm still accomplishing something.
I have never felt like I did on the way back from MP on Sunday night. I was just so at peace with everything, it was just such a great feeling that I never want to forget.
I wrote a little bit about David on my trip page. He's a amazing guy. We really clicked. He has a girlfriend in Ecuador so its just a friend thing, we had some really deep conversations. He's done a lot of traveling & is just so on to it. You know that really cool feeling when you know that you're going to be friends with someone regardless. It was that sort of connection. I must admit though on the train at one stage we were talking & he touched my knee, there was definitely electricity there...
I met up with him and the English lads Sunday night about 10pm, I was planning on a early one but he convinced me to stay out till 2am & said something that I thought was pretty cool, he was like "you cant go - you're like the flame that starts the fire". It didn't sound quite so cheesy at the time. Anyway 2am came around & I was so tired so I was going but I couldn't find him anywhere so didn't get to say good bye :( but you know what, I just had this feeling that it didn't matter cause I knew Id be seeing him again. Don't ask me when or where, cause he's not traveling, but I just had this really strong feeling. Pretty cool me thinks... I have to trust my instincts I think. Whenever I get feelings like that it reminds me of the whole Steve & Kat thing (my ex) when I first met her I had a similar feeling... My instincts were right there. Now I've just got to learn to trust them & go with them.
I'm in Puno now & still aren't feeling 100% so I'm just going to chill out today. Even though I feel sick, I'm still happy, I'm still at peace. I'm really glad that I'm doing this & I know that I'm going to be ok.
It kinda freaked me out when I got to the bus station last night that the tout was like taxi, hostel etc. I had already decided how much Id pay for the taxi (they rip you off here) & the hostel that I wanted to stay at that looked like it was closet to the main square. I sort of said to myself, things will work out, just go with it. And it did, he gave me the price I wanted for the taxi & said the hostel name that Id decided on form the lonely planet. I've booked some tours through him too, don't worry I checked with 2 other agents to make sure the price was right before booking. At the moment I really are just going with the flow but I'm not stupid enough to take everything at face value :o)
I spose its the whole things happen how they are supposed to you just have to put it out there & then go with it.
I've still got to wait, the photos are taking ages. At least internet is only like Sl.2 per hour ($.80au) so its not that big a deal.
What else can I write about... Oh the whole Adam thing... I saw him again last Thursday night I think. Decided not to go there again. You know when you expect a guy to show interest & kinda make you feel special? Well he didn't & I wasn't willing to compromise. He was definitely interested but was more into playing drinking games with the guys so I didn't want to wait around, the girls & I went to Mamma Africas.
Saw the bar man on Sunday night - he was with a girl! Oh well, Ill survive :o)
I really enjoyed cusco but think Ill calm down on the partying a little, I know, famous last words... I'm traveling by myself now though so I think it'll be a little different. Although Ill probably meet people this afternoon on the tour I'm doing & on the floating islands overnight trip... Well see...
I miss all you guys. Sorry I'm not in touch as much as I should be! I honestly cant say how important your friends really are. Never take them for granted cause as soon as they're not there you feel it! But you know what's cool too. I'm ok been by myself, I know its something that I can do (until I have my next breakdown anyway ;). Here the hostels aren't quite the same. They're more like hotels. I have a private room & private bathroom so the possibility of meeting people at the hostel is quite limited but I'm ok with that at the moment.
Oh & get this I don't have a power point in my room to charge my phone. The battery died this morning so no more txt messages for a while....
Well I should get out there & do something... Photos are just about done... I haven't eaten properly since yesterday morning so I should try & find a restaurant too. I haven't been hungry, maybe that's why I'm still not feeling well... hmmm...
