We drove from Cosco to Ollantaytambo the next morning we took the train to Aguas Calientes and from there the bus to the entrance of Machu Picchu.
We got there before 9am. So no crowds jet and a blue sky so all the peaks were visible. What an experience, I have seen lots of pictures and films about Matchu Picchu but to walk the ground and be surrounded by all these peaks and ancient buildings is an experience of its own and hard to describe. Mabel your item is safe behind a rock. After lunch we had a guided tour but we all knew a lot about the place. We all got a little sunburn and in the afternoon we had heavy showers, got back to our campers at 9pm. And today we are back in Cusco. I have a s
ensitive tooth so went to the dentist, apparently quite a common occurrence at this altitude.

I am now on Amoxidel and hope to have no further problems. Norbert took the BlueWonder to have the brakes checked and possibly find someone who can do an alignment on her. The brakes are now replaced and the alignment done, we will stay one more day in Cusco and then head south.
Big Hug to All
Norbert and Greti

Wow, was für ein Erlebnis. Habe es schon bei Freddys Reise bewundert. Und einen so tollen Tag zu erwischen freut mich besonders für Euch. Fragt mal eure Bekannten ob sie die Familie Schöne zufällig kennen, Deutsche aus dem Schwabenland die seit über zehn Jahren in Salmon Arm wohnen und die wir schon mehrfach besucht haben. RITA
ReplyDeleteWell .. it looks like (not having seen one in the above post I am assuming this) you have reentered the land of better roads .. I wish I had some idea of where you are .. WELL! I know you are somewhere in the general area of South America .. some web sites have a google-map attached so the writer can show the reader precisely where they are. That not-withstanding we still enjoy your posts greatly .. Cap and Patti ..
ReplyDeleteYour bucket list will be a lot shorter after this trip. So good to read you are doing well and are able to handle all obstacles on your way.
