Machu Picchu - Part 2

The most amazing part about today?  The fact that we were able to sleep until 9:30am.  And then after breakfast the first thing we did?  Buy Mom her birthday present :)

Lucky Mamoo, it  is so beautiful - silver with Peruvian weaving and turquoise beads

Back to Machu Picchu to hike the Sun Gate path - took us about two hours despite the hot, muggy, mosquito-laden weather.  Side note - we just found out that this year is the site's 100th anniversary!

After we trekked back to the main site it started to rain, so a couple more photos and we headed back down to Aguas Calientes.

Yes, that is a scarf on my head - stupid hair kept falling in my face haha

5:30pm take the Hiram Bingham train to Ollantaytambo, then a bus to Cusco where driver meets us for transport to our Cusco hotel (we arrive at 10:15pm).  The train was super luxurious, with drinks and dinner and live music.

That's it.  Short and sweet.  Nite!
