24 hour challenge...

After Machu Picchu we attempted to stary up for 24 hours by having a night out in Cusco, which we did! Here are the less incriminating pics...

Jess, Steph and Miranda having a well deserved drink

Pisco Sours all round! Aussie Lisa, me, London Lisa and Emma

Steph and I with our AMAZING Daiquiris. Have no idea why Jon is pulling that face!

We made it! Slightly worse for wear and tired, Charlotte points to he clock to prove the 24hrs were up!

The one & only Machu Picchu

So here it is...not much needs to be said really, the pics speak for themselves. We got the 6.15am bus up the mountain from Aguas Caliente, and although we had to queue to get in and there seemed to be hoardes of people around, the wait was so worth it. It was hard to take a bad picture, from any angle the views were spectacular.

Our first glimpse before the sun rose

Sunrise - and Steph and I in nearly matching llama jumpers

The mist took a tantalisingly long time to clear

Steph & I in the classic photo spot. How long is my arm! (he hee...)

The mist cleared!

Silly picture

Meeting up with the Inca Trail trekkers. Their turn to look shattered!

I trekked up to the famous Sun Gate. Was knackering, but great views
