Our Ascent to Sun Gate, Machu
Picchu
  Half way and already the
view is awesome
We got on the number
nineteen bus at eight ten, got off at eight thirty five and began our slow walk
up to Sun Gate. We got to the top at five to eleven, the book had said forty
five minutes, we were happier to go much slower with frequent rest stops. One
nutter did it in twenty eight minutes, good on him.
 The next bit up was a
gentler business, the last bit was a bit
tough
  We
make it to the top and sit to take it in. We
even had Alan's welcoming committee in loads of
butterflies
  Our proof
pictures
Up here we are at
thirteen degrees, ten minutes point ten South - seventy two degrees, thirty
two minutes point zero one West. Our altitude is nine thousand and thirty nine
feet above sea level and a height increase of one thousand and sixty nine feet
higher than the Machu Picchu ruins.
 Proof picture for Beds
  We
begin our slow walk down at eleven thirty admiring the views as we
go
  The buses looked
diddy
  The ruins look small
from up here
 Some
running repairs on the wall
  We decide to head down
to the Watchman's Hut as we didn't go there
yesterday
     The wanderers en route
