Check out is early 10am it is gloriously sunny this is too good an opportunity to miss.
The hotel agree to get our luggage to the station for us, so we set off to town to find some tickets to go back up the mountain.
How magic this place is and now in the sunshine the orchids show up on the sheer cliffs all the different greens and browns. We sit and watch the world go by. Even with all the people it is still peaceful.
It is more amazing and wonderful than any of the photos and to be sitting here on Christmas Eve how lucky are we.
In the six months we have been travelling its in the middle of Macchu Picchu that I realise (Tom) I am not feeling well so have to make a very quick exit and just make it to the Banos.
As there is a bus and a train ride back to Cusco we make a retreat just in case.
Magical trip hope we can come back one day.
