During May 2008, i completed the Peru Inca Trail in aid of The British Heart Foundation and have so far raised a little over £4,500.
I found the whole trek one of the most challenging things i've ever done in my life, both physically and mentally and at the same time most rewarding. When i took on the challenge i knew it would be tough, but not as tough as it actually was.
Even with KLM losing my luggage, suffering from altitude sickness, cold shakes and getting an upset stomach i would still recommend the whole experience to anyone who is thinking of doing it. And if you can do it for charity at the same time, all the better!
I know that the memories that i have from those 10 days will be with me forever and never realised that walking up mountains could be so emotional. Truly a Bostin experience!
Over the coming weeks i will be publishing my daily diaries and maybe even add some of the amazing photos i had taken, to share with you and maybe give a little taste of what the experince was like.
Tara-a-bit! with love, Donato Esposito
The Adventure Begins!
Day 0 – Friday 9th May
Bags all ready to pack, just a few items left to buy. My diary book, inflatable pillow for the long flight and coach trip, food bars and antiseptic wipes.
Back in the evening to Rubery after picking up kids from school in
Lift from sister Cristina to Digbeth Coach Station and coach departs at 1am ish. Interesting ringtones some of the fellow passengers have and one guy playing back his video on his video recorder with enough volume for everyone on coach to hear!
