Well, we did it. We hopped on the train. We hopped on the bus. And there we were, shelling out $40 to see Machu Picchu. And you know what... it was worth it. I took a million photos (still forthcoming, sorry), We walked all around, to the 'sun gate' to the 'Inca Bridge', and despite all the tourists, I can still rate it along with the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal as something that actually lived up to the hype.
The next day we climbed the moutain across from MP, a true adventure, going up 2000 feet in just a few miles, including a 100 foot exposed wooden ladder climb and a grueling final exposed Inca Step series. A rainbow Inca flag (not to be confused with other rainbow flags) greeted us at teh top. I veiwed it as our penance for not having time to do the Inca trail.
Once again, its famous for a reason, and that reason's a good one
