while hiking bare foot on the Inca trail, listening to the ‘Cha Cha slide’ while eating a tin of apricots and dressed as Hong Kong Phooey. As we looked over Wayllabamba at sunset, my guide said ‘That won’t make double figures, let alone 175 comment, Mr Jeans!’ I looked at him and said ‘They rarely do Juan, they rarely do and please, call me City!’ |

"You've had a busy morning then. Bravo. I made it to my sofa."
Well, you were busy the other day retrieving your butt plug, I’d be taking it easy after that. |

"I'm curious, was Cha Cha Slide on repeat throughout the journey, was it a short hike, or was this just the most memorable moment?"
It’s been on a loop for 7 days, Juan keeps asking how long we must stay funky for, cause he says his funk is running out. |

"Apricots eh? One day I hope you are strong enough to enjoy the throat burning sensation of pineapple chunks, but we all have to start somewhere
Namaste   "
I couldn’t risk pineapple chunks this early on in the trip, they go right through me. |

Fascinating. Did sliding to the left cause any near-death precipice experiences? And I'm curious to know how long "taking it back now y'all" added to the journey? |

We have nearly come a cropper 17 times, Juan estimates we have added an extra 43 needless miles to our journey by staying funky, but like I say you can’t put a price on funk. |

"Did you eat the apricots from the tin or had you the foresight to pack a bowl ? "
Straight from a tin, but we did get 34 miles in when we realised I left the can opener at base camp, Juan was not happy going back for it while I waited 2 days for him to return, |

I saw him in Halfords...they had a sale on just be careful the pedals don't fall off.

I believe when you first wrap some funk on it then it's fairly inexpensive, but everytime you "turn it up" the cost escalates. And when you clap your hands, it doubles.
The clap can be troublesome like this.

Can I suggest you put the Proclaimers on to help Juan out of this fix? |

"I approve of your sartorial choices, CJ, if not your dubious taste in music.
By day, a mild-mannered janitor..."
I just really like wearing dressing gowns. Juan wants to know why he has to carry my old school ghetto blaster on his shoulder, like I said to him, always with the questions Juan, we have to give the village elders prior warning, so they have time to get funky, we can’t spring funkiness upon them, with the ghetto blaster they can hear us coming 8 miles away, this giving them two days to prepare, you just don’t get that through phone speakers.

"Why can't your donkey take turns with Juan in carrying the ghetto blaster ?"
We’ve discussed this, we both feel he hasn’t been pulling his weight, so that’s why Edmundo (the donkey) and me have agreed that Juan should carry the ghetto blaster. |

Wasn't Juan carrying Edmundo earlier? seems to me like he's been carrying more than his own weight and it's you who's been slacking? |

You’ve been playing attention, yes Juan is carrying Edmundo and also the ghetto blaster, I’m carrying all the bags and the tin of apricots, wait a minute this donkey has been making fools of us both. |

"Question: is the donkey a really good friend or do you really like Juan? Why is he coming with you?"
Juan was the guide and Edmundo the donkey was supposed to carry our stuff, we hired him from Juan’s brother Fernando, so we loaded him up at base camp and somehow after half a mile he talked both Juan and me into carrying everything, he said his fetlock was playing up and he just needed to walk it off for 20 minutes then he would be fine, that was a week ago. |
