    Highlights:
    - Seeing Machu Picchu! Another bucket list item that exceeded expectations and was definitely a pinch me moment
    - Having another accidental private tour, and again our tour guide was fantastic
    - A great train ride which made a difference from all the buses!
    - A gorgeous walk along the Inca trail and not too difficult which meant we enjoyed the majority of it!
    - A quick stop at a waterfall where we cooled down and had a nice break
    - Seeing the Inca ruins of Winay Wayna as part of the trek and being able to wander around without any crowds
    - Seeing the first view of Machu Picchu from the sun gate was incredible and unbelievable at the same time
    - Taking pictures of the famous view and sitting down to enjoy it for a while trying to take it in
    - Visiting again the following day and our guide taking us round and telling us all about it for 2 hours, really interesting and great to see it twice from different viewpoints
