Got up early in Aguas Calientes and scoffed home made banana cake at the bus stop. Drove to the gates of Macchu Picchu with a host of irritating tourists. Most were unfit and heffers so by the first couple of minutes we lost them! Got to good view point and could see the andes, the rainforrest and Macchu Picchu. Luis told us a lot about the history and we took a tour. Saw an enourmous condor carved our of the rock, the sun temple and the ´mamapicchu´mother earth. We then attempted to climb Waynuipicchu (osrry about spelling). It was tough going but not as tough as it was for Debra´s pack which had to get abandoned...I kept teasing her saying it had inca bricks in it! finally got to the top...required a bit more bouldering...blimey and we thought some treks in New Zealand were hairy!
Later on we met up with the rest of the group who´d done the conventional Inka trail. It sounded good but we´re glad we did Lares. Back at Cusco we went out for crepes and a big glass of 'Granja Heidi´s´milk....mmmmmm!
