Machu Picchu

While concrete set and paint dried at the orphanage, we took some time out to head to Machu Picchu! A brilliant couple of days!
It was quite an adventure getting there, we rode our motorbikes as far as possible along some pretty rough tracks crawling with crazy drivers and unorganized road works.
After this it was a cruisy 11k wander up the valley, then a 4am start and there it was!
Absolutely amazing setting, and really cool ruins!
The trip back was a little more exciting with roadworks holding us up for hours, so we ended up riding most of the way in the dark.
A very foggy pass left us following the centre line and hoping for the best!
All in all a great excursion, and now it's time to head back to the orphanage and finish the swings!
