Today was a pretty uneventful day spent by slowing working my way closer to Machu Pichu. During the rainy season (now) apparently trains don’t run all the way from Cuzco so I had to begin the morning with a two hour bus ride to the nearest train station. The drive (the parts I didn’t sleep through) was gorgeous, though. Then I boarded a train for the remainder of the journey and more great views. The train was very well done, good service, good snacks and the extra large windows were great for the ride. The town at the base of Machu Pichu is called Aguascalientes (because of the hot springs) and it’s a funky little place. Much like Cuzco it’s got a very international feel because of all of the tourism coming in from all over the world. But it is a tiny little place tucked along the river. I had lunch at a neat place called The Tree House which had excellent food. I was unusually tired, though, so I basically just rested for the remainder of the day as I had yet another early start in store for tomorrow.
