machu picchu

---

After getting up at 5 in the morning and missing the train we finally made it to olyentambo in the evening to catch a conecting train to aquas calientes to go to machu picchu.

Machu picchu was really great we got there at about 5.30am befor all the tourists, never saw the sun rise as its in the clouds so you have to wait for them to pass to get a good look. we got bits and bobs of information about the incas and machu picchu on the way round.

hanna and i decided not to do the 3 day uphill treck but instead decided to do the optional hike from machu pichu to some caves and waynapicchu which was a killer. 4 hours we hiked not up steps but more of a rock scramble and a cliff hang.
