as we get closer and higher, the landscape gets dryer. the last bit of the trip was very windy, curvy twisty and many passengers get sick, the bathroom starts to smell bad. and one of our companions is starting to get nauseous. luckily he made it.
we settled in San Blass the 'cool' turisty neighborhood in cusco; in La Casa de La Gringa. very nice place. rustic, with personality, but clean and proper. 10 bucks per head (u can get some rooms a little bit cheaper or a little more expensive, depending what u're looking for. or check another hostel. this one seemed nice. they also offered san pedro guided trips.
after settling, and leaving the bags. we went for a walk. check out the place, take some pics
we also went to the train station to buy our tickets to machu picchu. its one of the first things u gotta do (at least during turist season) cause there are soooo many people visiting, that usually u cant get a train seat, u have to buy one for a couple of days away. the train is also a rip off. some sort of monopoly, nways i hear its gonna change, that they're gonna bid for it again. so maybe a different company gets it this time and lets hope they dun exploit turists that much. u can also walk along the train tracks. it takes about 8 hours from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes (machu picchu town) where u can stay the night to leave the next day eaaaaarly in the morning to visit the citadel.
nways. after that some more walking around and some food
there are more pics of the day in the album
