More South America - Peru - Machu Picchu

Good Morning Sunshine - and welcome to the top of the world!! That is what it felt like watching the sun peep over the top of the mountain. We arrive at Machu Picchu in time for this spine tingling event. We could have been unlucky and had a vista of cloud over mountain top, or rain, but on this day, there wasn't a cloud in the sky and we were so high I felt as though I could touch heaven - we weren't as high as we were in the Colca Canyon part of the Andes, I just felt different here.It doesn't matter what you see on tv or read in the travel brochures...
Nothing prepares you for the experience that is MACHU PICCHU!
It's just mind boggling and....

MAGNIFICENT

I could post dozens of photos of Machu Picchu, but this will do I - in fear of you turning away from my blog :) The last shot is of the group that we travelled with from one side of Sth Am to the other. We lost and gained a few along the way, but the core group remained the same.

This post includes POMs 40, 41, 42, 43 (I know it's cheating, but it's the only way I'm gonna survive the promise!)
