After a much needed rest from yesterday's travels we had an early morning. We left ATEK at 5:30 and took a bus to the train station. From there we took a 3 1/2 hour scenic train ride up to Machu Picchu. The scenery was beautiful, it was interesting to see dry farmland and then gradually a change to tropical jungle. When we arrived at Machu Picchu we met a tour guide who told us lots if interesting facts about the Inka ruins. It was a busy day at the ruins because it was the 103rd Anniversary of the discovery of Machu Picchu. We got some amazing pictures of the detailed architecture, it was all so beautiful.
We walked around the site and did some exploring without the tour guide afterwards. Then we took the bus back down and had lunch at a Mexican restaurant.
We took the train back and thankfully managed to all make it on, unfortunately Mark was in a different coach. Some of the girls learned some new Spanish songs, their favourite being "Feliz Navidad" they had lots of time to perfect it so it sounds quite good! We got back to ATEK at 9:30 and has supper. We are all in good health (Brianna has us all using her essential oils).
Pastor Bill and Alissa stayed back and did some flooring. They also went to the market.
Goodnight!
