Well it's been four days since I last wrote this thing and they have arguably been the best four days since I started out. We got the bus to Ollentaytambo on Thursday afternoon and then got the train to Aguas Callientes, my first train journey in South America but I didn't see much as it was getting dark. We stayed in the darkest, dampest, smelliest, flea ridden hostel in town and woke at 4 in the morning to climb Machu Piichu {say it really fast in a healium voice at regular intervals through out the day and it'll brighten up your life}. It was a steep climb and took just over an hour but the altitude isn't so high so it wasn't as difficult as Huarez. We got to Machu Piichu on time for sunrise on the day of the spring equinox and although it was too cloudy to see sunrise Machu Piichu is the most incredible thing I've ever seen. It is so breath taking, the Incas chose the most beautiful place for their city, words cannot describe the beauty of this place, even pictures can't do justice cause it's so peacefull and spiritual. I bumped into Aitch, Don and Cam up there, they had just completed the 4 day inca trail so I can imagine how rewarding a site Machu Piichu was for them. The hot springs in Aguas Callientes were so perfect after our hike back down the mountain. We were sitting in the hot springs surrounded by the most breath taking mountain views of the Andes, drinking clod beer with small rain drops cooling down our hot heads while we remembered what a great day we just had and forgot for a short while that the world was all going mad blowing itself up. We came back to Cusco on Saturday morning and this time got to see all teh beautiful views. There was ll sorts of maddness with the trains as there was a landslide on the track so loads of people were stuck in Aguas Calientes for an extra day. On Saturday afternoon I went up to Saqsihauman {pronounced sexy woman} The main fortress of the capital of the inca empire, it was amazing and there was a great view of the city of cusco up there. Yesterday we went to Pisaq and walked over the mountain from the ruins to the Pisaq market, which had everything including the best empanadas cooked in this huge big clay oven. Well I'm taking some chillaxation time now in Cusco and trying to decide where to go, what to do, who to go with next. I met another girl who has a blog and we both aggreed that the absence of a spell checker on this is ruining our street cred among the inteligencia.
