Inca Trail: Day 4 and Machu Picchu
We woke up early to assemble at the checkpoint on the way to Machu Picchu. It opens at 0530. This part is kind of annoying because everyone is packed together as we all want to enjoy the lost city as empty and early as possible.
Regardless, the city is breathtaking. A great journey and a great destination.
Me duelen los pies. My feet hurt.
The rest of the journey back to Cuzco was annoying. I had to wait around the train station for a couple hours and when I finally got going, the train played loud club music, making much needed sleep difficult. The train attendants also had a fashion show in an attempt to sell varieties of alpaca sweaters and shawls. Interesting dual role.
I ended of getting sick from my lunch. Ironically, I had no problems with the high altitude or with the intense physical challenge of the trail, but my body succumbed to some nasty pizza at a tourist cafe.
