Ladies of the Rings: Fellowship of Machu Picchu
As the sun sets on the lofty slopes of Cusco, the four lovely Limerick lassies ponder their impending faith. It's four on two with the fellowship being pitted against the mighty peaks of Salkantay and Macchu Picchu. On the eve of this daunting challenge, the Fellowship have decided to congregate in the lonesome lobby of Samay Wasi.
Well, as it turns out "Murph" ( the honorary limerick lass ) is in bed - alone! "Fitzy" is curled up on the couch, so it is left to the two stalwarts "The Bomber Liston" and "Costello" to finalise the battleplan. A night of trepedation and apprehension awaits.
The small luxuries afforded by modern living will be savoured tonight; a cuppa Barrys and a Twix. Five cold, lonely, flea-infested nights lie ahead, with the man above providing the only showers .Who knows, by the end of this trek we may have developed our own personal, B.O. fuelled insect detterent... The long johns are being dusted down at this very moment. The tickly cotton fabric has acquired a whole new significance.
As one faces a warm bed on a cold night, this farewell will hopefully be the first of many for the Fellowship as we each face our own personal "Mount Doom".
