Aguas Calientes - Peru

Got up mucho early today to get the ridiculously overpriced Peru Rail train (officially one of the slowest trains in the world) to Aguas Calientes. Starting off, the train had to go back and forth, back and forth to maneouvre itself onto tracks higher up the mountain. On the way the train also bumped off a cow! boo.

We got there early and checked into a hostel for the bargain price of 25 soles per room. Then we went for a long lingering lunch of salad, beer, sandwiches & wine.

After lunch we went for a little exploration, then probably went out for more food & beer. We met two Canadians who had been to Galapagos Islands, so we asked them a few questions. They said get the trip from Puerto Ayora and don’t sail on the Gabby and the something else...
Off to bed early as we are getting up at 4.30 am to climb the millions of steps up to Macchu Picchu.
