Photos of Machu Picchu

7 hours in Machu Picchu yesterday.  Pictures do not do justice to how fantastic this place is.  Foggy start, then it lifted progressively through the morning so everything was slowly revealed.  Best way to see it we were informed.  Full sun by afternoon.  Lots of walking up steps and not too many tourists. 

A little tired today.  We were supposed to do a tour out of Cusco to a couple of places, but the bus got bogged, so we sat in a beautiful sunny farming valley for 2 hours enjoying the floor show of everyone trying to get the bus out.  the impressive thing was how many of the locals and some Colombian tourists came to help.  This wouldn't happen in Australia.  Visited alpaca textile shops this arvo and a silver jewellery workshop.  Early night as all the walking/climbing yesterday is having an effect.  Rest day looking around Cusco tomorrow.  Then off to Lake Titicaca the next day.

Until then.
