Steve Catterallit's a fantastic journey up through the mountains, the train runs alongside a river then all of a sudden you come in to a tropical region , loads of orchids along the track. the train gives a guide when we pass Inca ruins or other things of interest. really looking forward to next bit, then hotel and wander round think I'm going to try guinea pig tonight and tomorrow back to Machu Piccu to climb the mountain and watch the sun rise but as we can't get in till 6am I've a feeling the sun may well have risen lol
