Jungle Trek to Machu Picchu

I will keep this entry brief, as to be honest the pictures speak for themselves.Due to poor organisation skills I was not able to do the Real Inca Trail and opted for one of the alternative trail to Machu Picchu, a 4 day adventure which involved a bum bruising bike ride starting at 4000m and going down to 1800m and a jungle trek. The jungle trek was probably the most exhausting thing I have ever done. Walking up steep mountains, across narrow pathways with big drops just a few metres away. Raaah. I felt like I was dying but it was worth it. The last day we cheated and took the bus up to Machu Picchu. As a punishment for our lazyness, we were not rewarded with the awe inspiring sunrise views. Instead we saw a sea of white fog. But as the morning came to a close, the clouds dissipated and we were able to admire the splendour of this Inca monument. Truly splendid.

At first we saw this....

Then it finally appeared...

One more Wonder of the World Witnessed. Pretty cool if I shall say myself.
