And yes, we finally made it to Machu Picchu. And for some God-forsaken reason we decided to climb another mountain too.... Wayna Picchu, pìctured in the photo below. We were both just tired and having too much fun with the Chavez´s to post this entry. They only let 400 people climb the mountain per day and you have to sign in with your name and passport number. No one´s allowed starting the climb after 1pm and everyone has to be back by 4. Well, when we got to the mountain it was already 10 so we were about the 500th, 501st persons there. But fortunately someone who had gone earlier was there and had held onto their tickets, which we used to gain access. And good news, we did not get stuck on top of the mountain but we did have a great time. It was very peaceful at the top with fantastic views and there were more ruins up there too. Below are a few of the pics of are amazing time in the ruins and on the mountain. Pbbly post more when we get back home.
Wayna Picchu in the back. This picture was taken after the hike up and down the mountain. We were pretty tired by this point.
The dreaded Mt. Putuhusi is in the back.
Wayna Picchu again. Getting closer...

We figured out a cheaper way to get out of Aguas Calientes to Cuzco than taking the expensive train ride. It consisted of needing to walk along a railroad track for 2 hrs or so. Then we took a seven hour car ride back to Cuzco. It was a gruelling ride but we made it and we saved a good 50 dollars.
