We were greeted by some lovely young dancers as we were boarding the Hiram Bingham Orient Express train |
Jim and Lynda - Jim toasts the upcoming journey |
Julie and Lorie - this train is the lap of luxury |

We passed by lots of farmlands |
The train followed the river for quite a bit |
Marshall and Lorena enjoy the delicious breakfast |
After breakfast, Marshall and Lorena decide to shake it up! |

Lots of terraced farm lands in this area |
The bar & lounge car on the train |
Machu Picchu - absolutely breathtaking! |
Marie and Julie donning the apparal that is sold for days such as this! |
A really 'moody' shot - but beautiful! |
Wayna Picchu is the peak in the background, David, Leo and Robert went to climb it as soon as we got there |
Hey, look, it's David, Robert & Leo - it was too late to climb Wayna Picchu! |
Lorie, Trisha, Willy and Sandra listen as our guide tells us the history |
"It takes a leader of the best callibre to lead his troops to the highest mountain under such adverse conditions...." |
Geez little llama, don't get so close to the edge! |
It as amazing to wonder how the Inca's managed to build all this up here, so long ago |
As the steps got harder to climb as I tired out, I found great excuses to stop... |
The rain has cleared, the clouds are lifting now |
That's our train way down there! |
Not exactly sure what this is? |
See that blue sky peeking through? |
Llamas are plenitful here |
A not-so good picture of Agua Calientes, and the dry riverbed |
