[Tres Gringos Blancos] Inca Trail

[Steven]

Didn´t really stick with the other guys over the last 4 days, went at my own pace, saw my own thing...wasn´t involved in whatever it was they did to the llamas. Here´s a few pics from my adventures: First: Machu Picchu as the sun rises, fog clears...one of the first 5 to see it for the day.
Second: Me and a guy a met from Newcastle of all places went off the beaten track and climbed an extra mountain. Tallest we could see, had to very much scramble up it. Fog obscures the view but Machu Picchu mountain is a long way down to the left, and the rest of the group about 200m down to the right.
Third: Another side trip, this time with the Novacastrian and an Englishman. Got a point with 360 degree views of a gorgeous valley on day 3.
Fourth: Further along day three whats known at ´Gringo Killer´. 3600 stairs just like these, straight down. Oh Incans how you love stairs.
Fifth: Me again, Incan ruins behind, Machu Picchu mountain not far to the left and camp site for night 3 down to the right. Another path we didnt have to take but chose to anyway. Well worth the view.
