Day 13

Machu Picchu was amazing. Like, words can't even describe how beautiful it was.
There was far more to it then I expected, you can see where everything in the city was. Terres' litter the mountain on one part, while what used to be homes and industrial sites cover the other two.
I was feeling better, and totally ready to hike up Whinu Picchu, then we found out that they were totally booked up for the day. They only allow 400 people up per day, and generally have a line up once the first buses get there.
We were up at 4:40 this morning, having slept through both alarms at 4:20, packed, ate, and were out to meet our quite for 5:10. Once we got to Machu Picchu, we were shown a tour of the ruins by the guides our group had for the Inca Trail, before we had time to walk around more, then bus back to the city. After lunch today we have like, four hours to do nothing until our trail takes us back to near Ollanaytambo, then we are whisked back to Urubamba to get ready for the farewell 'party' this evening.
We're leaving tomorrow evening, I'm not really sure if anything is planned for in the morning. I need to pick up a few last second things before we go, as well as pack so I kinda hope we have the morning off.
