So we roll into Machu Pichu basically destroyed. We had drank all of our water on the way up and they were not selling water that day, so….we had to deal. But the truth is that the view, that place, is so breathtaking it didn´t matter. I didn´t want to like Machu Pichu. I will tell the truth that I thought only losers would like it! HAHA I am SERIOUS. Like it was for conformists or something. Now I know. It is truly out of control. Not just the ruins and how amazingly well preserved they are, but the setting is out of control. There aren´t words for this place, just pictures. Which someday you will see if we can ever figure it out.
We met up with Darren and we walked around and made jokes and got to know the place. We saw these bunny animals all over, and tons of rocks and doors and ruins. But the view and just being up there was the most amazing part.
There weren´t too many tourists either which was good. Then we went down, ate, hung out, were generally out of it. Then said goodbye to our buddy, Darren and got on the train. What came next was unexpected and probably one of the funniest nights of my life. 3 swedish girls, 1 taxi, and a horror story! Coming up next!
What the horror story would not be the climb up to Machu Pichu?? I would have asked you all to leave my corpse rotting in the jungle and go on, ala war movie style – and i am sorry…. WHY DID YOU THINK YOU WOULD NOT LIKE IT???? ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD… are you becoming a judging hipster beca?? anyways waiting for the PART 3, eagerly…and oh yeah pictures, some day.
