Day 9- Enroute to Machu Picchu

Hola!

Today started off by packing some things for an overnight stay at Aguas Calientes so we can head to the world famous Machu Picchu tomorrow.

We took our usual couple minute walk to the buses at around 9:30am Peruvian time.

We piled our overnight luggage in the back of the two buses and off we went to Aguas Calientes (the town that grants access to Machu Picchu.)

The bus took us to Ollantaitambo and then we got a train from there to Aguas Calientes.

Unfortunately due to timing only half of us were able to board the first train. The other half quickly boarded the next available train.

After a scenic train ride we arrived to Aguas Calientes and checked into our new hostel.

After checking into our new hostel, the group that arrived first went out for some supper while we waited for the rest to arrive.

The other group boarded another train and arrived a few hours later. When they arrived they went to eat some supper and then we all enjoyed some free time in Aguas Calientes.

Today was mainly a day of travel and exploring a new city in the rain.

The majority of the group went to bed early because we have a big day tomorrow (Machu Picchu)!!
