years of peace food health, prospertiy the perfect cilivlisation

After booking about 3 different tours and being up 3 days in a row at 3am, I finally got to the sacred site of Machu Picchu. So we were picked up from the hostel then it was a bus ride then a train ride, i was asleep for most of them so times are unknown.

I was awoken by a shake from a lovely Ecuadorian man, i think i may have been nodding off on his shoulder but he was too polite to say anything. So made friends with Marcelo, Carlos from Quito and Agata the spanish speaking polish chicha.

What to say, it was amazing and mystical, in such unimaginable location. It was also very touristy but you´ll get that at one of the 7 wonders of the world.

so some americans I had meet the night before, a blind man and two spanish speakers a polish lassie me and sophie with a brilliant guide off to explore Machu Picchu.

The guide had written a book about MP and the Incas so he had the book out every chance showing pics and giving all the history that is not verified or even true, but truth always spoils a good story i should know that best out of anyone right! " This rock Could be a condor could be a knife" then always followed with an entertaining story of how they use the rock to tell the time or point to the south or it was a spot that the sun would shine only on the shortest day of the year so they knew when to start planting new crops.

Must say those Incas were incredibly smart i think we have a lot to learn from them about living the self sufficient peaceful lifestyle. At their strongest period they ruled all the way from Ecuador to Bolivia, Santiago de Chile.... bloody Spanish had to conquer and spoil the party..
