Went here for breakfast with Shawn in NY and thought it was worth a mention. Check out the menu (pdf) here.

Aoife had the Sneaky Pete, Shaun had Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pancakes, and I had a Shirley

This is just a quick update as its 4:20am and we're about to leave on our 5 day trek to Macchu Pichu (excuse any spelling mistakes in advance please!) ... We've all (That's Aoife, Johnny, John, Sorcha, Niall and myself) spent the last few days at altitude (approx. 3000m) trying to get acclimatised. So far so good - nobody has been affected too badly.. Mostly a bit of insomnia and tiredness..

We had a bit of a fisasco with the booking of the trip. The crowd we had booked with fell conspicously out of contact after payment was made for the trek! But after some threatening e-mails yesterday they came through so we're definitely good to go. Plan is to walk about 55km over 4 days and we{ll be getting up above 4600m (which will be bloody cold probably). On the fifth day we{ll arrive in Macchu Pichu and have the day there.

Fingers crossed we make it!

Take care,

Tadhg & Aoife (et al).
