July 25

Our charming bus ride finished 10km past our stop

The driver mumbled an apology and firm 'out you hop'

It was 4:30 in the morning, dumped on the side of the road

Thankfully a lone taxi driver flashed his lights and slowed

We sat in Samaipata plaza until the sun poked its head

Then found a quaint hostel where an old lady gave us each a bed

I returned the favour by breaking her expensive thermos

Then proceeded to search for a replacement in earnest
