Saturday - Travel Day

Today we left Huyro, finished with the service portion of this adventure. We had our final breakfast with our MMI group and then got on a bus and headed to Ollantaytombo. The 3 hour drive to Ollantaytombo was very beautiful, we literally drove into the clouds! As we drove into the clouds we also found a part of the road that had broken off and had fell away making the the road basically one lane for our giant bus to get through. After arriving in Ollantaytombo we had to say goodbye to all our new friends before loading a train headed to Aguas Calientes. It was another pretty ride through the mountains and along the river. We also found out Bryce is a negotiating fiend and has no soul when it comes to bartering. Also we ate at Chez Maggy, a brick oven pizza joint. It was the best pizza we have ever had! Our eyes were rolled in the back of our heads with a little gasp of air full of complete satisfaction... It was great. It has been nice to finally have consistent hot water, electricity, and wifi that can't be knocked out by rain haha! We look forward to seeing Machu Picchu on Sunday.

P.S. Rodney decided to pay too much for a book about Machu Picchu and that's all he got off the train. A.K.A. No pass port in hand. In an effort to make sure Rodney got all of his belongings, we grabbed all of his stuff along with someone else's bag #GoodTimes

P.P.S. We still have not found the bottom of Bryce's stomach.
