MACHU PICHU



Today we got up at 3.30 AM. Showered & left our hotel, the Eco Inn,  to meet Pablo. Pablo saluted us in perfect SPANGLISH. & drove us from Cusco to Ollantaytambo.

The fog, the narrow streets & the old culture made me shivered. Danger in any corner. Hard to comprehend the ability of Peruvian drivers. Honestly, I believe they are the best in South America.

Polite, yet money orientated.
´´Un poncho, señorita, solo trienta soles.` Their smiles to offer: Agua, gorro, guantes, corta vientos, saumerios, hierbas mejor que Viagra, Aqui la mejor oferta.

Compre, pague para eso Ud es turista. 

Oops

In grand style, the 6.30 AM Perurail train´s guides welcomed us. I was so excited taking photos like anyone else, that for one minute I watched my own image on the shinning train ohhhhh.Tourists starving for adventure. 

At 9.30 Bruce & I followed Darwin - our Machu Pichu guide to the top of the INCAS civilization.
All the way I couldn´t stop wondering about the spiritual ancentors. of this beautiful land.

Magic!

Pathetic.
