Day 90: The spell of Machu Picchu - Saturday February 5, 2011

Since the Sanctuary Hotel was right at the entrance to Machu Picchu, we had an early start and the site almost to ourselves. All the surrounding high mountains held back clouds so the light at Machu Picchu was perfect for viewing. Enjoy the photos! It was magic. The photos are unedited. The Incas took care of the framing.

The Hiram Bingham train ride back was fun. The band sang several Quechua songs at my request. An Italian lady was moved to dance. So it was lively. Dinner was tasty contemporary Peruvian cuisine. The whole outing was an Orient Express package. We got back to the hotel late, and tired & most satisfied.

Note: I am posting unedited Day 89 photos for the diehards.
