Enjoying the Virtual Adventures: Machu Picchu...

 

Loving these Pacer Virtual Adventure Challenge series in having now just completed the 33 km 'Inca Trail' in 3+ days, my second tour since first starting this week..

It's part of the Starter pack that includes the 3 challenges of:

1. London: 21 km

2. Machu Picchu: 33 km

3. Grand Canyon (USA): 36 km

Tomorrow, I'll take a break and then start again on Monday with a tour of the Grand Canyon. It's especially neat in that, for me, it's just about dancing to the beat of my own drum i.e. music playlist.

It's particularly special since not being able to visit these places and for everyone who's now joining these virtual tours during this COVID-19 lockdown times and the closure of international borders all over the world.

It's been amazing to see so many people around the world on these races and each going at their own pace. I also enjoy the fact that you don't even have to leave the safety of your home as it's quite concerning with the Delta variant making its presence felt in NZ.

These virtual tours also serve as a neat distraction during these trying times as well as serving as a neat reminder of getting fit and moving as it's been so easy to sit and complete online work without taking many breaks.

So this comes highly recommended from me if you don't mind spending some of that saved monies to pay for the access online as well as to receive a neat fashioned medal at the end. Especially for those of us who wouldn't otherwise get an Olympic medal but would enjoy this time hanging out at home...
