Aguas Calientes

From Machu Picchu, I took the bus back to Aguas Calientes, the town where we stayed the night before. I wasn't able to appreciate it since it was dark, but the town was also very beautiful. A hot spring resort town, from it's name "Hot Waters." I stopped by a restaurant for some lunch, it was very tempting to try the Alpaca and Guinea pig meat but I still opted not to. After eating some delicious pizza and feeding a stray cat underneath my table, I went back to the hostel to chill for a bit, getting lost on the way. I was there for quite a long time until some other people went in, one of the girls offered to smoke weed if anyone wants to come and I can never say no to weed. She introduced herself as Jennika, from Hawaii. We shared a joint and compared Machu Picchu experiences as well as sharing some llama photos. It was very wholesome and fun. We went to the train together and Trish and Penelope were soon sitting in front of me. We looked at the surrounding mountain range together as our train has it's roof windowed so the views were amazing all throughout the ride going back. It was like saying good bye to Salkantay as we passed by familiar mountain tops.

We got off the train and onto the van taking us back to Cusco. I had an altercation because someone took my sleeping bag with them by accident so we had to fix that and was all good luckily.Read more
