In my dorm room in Cusco a few days before heading off on the hike to Machu Picchu I run into a cardboard cut-out German called Brun. We get into conversation and I mention that Alan and I are planning to do the Salkantay Trail without a guide.
“Oh!” he says in a voice trembling with Teutonic excitement “I just LOVE people who do it by themselves!”
“Yes,” I say in reply. “So do the people who do it by themselves. That’s the problem”.
Puzzled look in response.
What's the German word for double entendre?
That is all,
Dale Atkinson
