The hotel we stayed at last night was beautiful and I am so sorry we only got to see it briefly in the sunlight. I was asleep very quickly as I was very tired, but then woke up around 2 am and had to throw up. Only once and I felt much better. Slept the rest of the night well and then packed for the trip to Machu Picchu. We had to take a bus to km 82, even closer than when I came in 1994 due to the mudslides. The weather this time was beautiful - sunny and warm with a bit of a breeze. Last time I was here in November and the hills were much greener. More tourists this time as well. It is hard to describe Machu Picchu in words. Tomorrow some of us will go on a mystic tour and I am excited about that. We had lunch at the Santuary Lodge at the entrance and I went to get a room pricelist. Rooms start over $850 and go to $1700 or more.
After lunch I decided to come back to the hotel and purchase some postcards to send out as I have not done that yet. I also found a cute stone condor, a little crude but not very expensive either. While I was writing up the cards I started to fall asleep so I finally took a nap.
We left our guide Carlos today and we might see him again at the airport in Lima when we return there Thursday. The trip is almost over.
