woke @ 6am to the sound of a monsoon outside. this did not bode well for our trip to maccu picchu. went to a sister hotel to get breakfast and were really worried about getting saturated by the rain all day when we got on the bus @ 7am. the bus journey was a typical wavy route up the mountain, and when we arrived at the control point we saw the rest o fthe group we started the trail with. it was great to hear some of their stories from the last 4 days.
as soon as we got there the sun was shining, and i ended up getting burned badly again. the group was led by llama path´s Jose. he is a great guide and explains in detail all about the inca site. it si remarkable intact and you can freely walk about all of the buildings. the masonry skills of the incas is unbelieveable; no cement is used, all the blocks fit perfectly togather.
as the day grew on, maccu picchu became flooded with tourists, and llamas started to appear here and there. the photos we took could not possibly capture the magnificance of this civilisation´s spiritual epicentre.
headed back to agua ascalientes for lunch, then back to cusco for about 8pm. got a lovely 4 course meal in a restaurant close to our hostel for 12 soles (€3)
leaving for puno tommorrow @ 7am.
