Peru+Brazil Trip: Day 2 - Part II: Train ride and first night in Aguas Calientes

27 miles... 1.5 hours. That's how long the train ride is. What a slooow train!

The train ride was real pretty.. kb tambo did hook us up with some nice tickets .. whole ride i saw the river n it was just great. The train also had a snack included, talk about class.

Arriving at aguas calientes, we first randomly walked around, hoping to hit our hostel. Result = fail! So we ended up finding a random storeowner, then after a few more misturns, found it.

Lady was nice at the hostel, but the hostel reminded me of the one back in St. Catherines near Mt. Sinai. Lots of bugs, but, the view we had was amazing (at least in my mind). The hostel was right along the river, so though the running water sound went non stop, at the same time I found it very soothing.

One downer was that one of the members decided to break away.. I guess maybe we were too hardcore? Sleeping at the airport, soldier tripping w.o face washing time, hostels with bugs... guess it might not be for everyone ... .. . hope it will work out alright for her.

Waking up tomolo at 4:30am... the trek up Wayna Picchu shall begin then!
