in a tiny wee village to catch the train tonight to macchu picchu. Place is breathtaking, but so are the prices. peru is really miling the inca trail thing. locals pay 4 pounds return from here to macchu picchu. i had to pay 25 quid. this was the rock bottom price, as the government regulates it all. we travelled here to see if we could get round it, but no dice. still, what a place.surrounded my mountains, with colonial churches built atop inca relics. Old inca fort (14th century) dominates the skyline above the town, and the locals are extremely friendly, as are their dogs.

tomorrow is the moment i have been waiting forever to arrive: seeing the sunrise over macchu picchu.
