On the Yellow Bus

This trip has been so easy. At each city we have been met by our guide and driver and we have travelled on our own with them for the entire time we are in their area. I must say Jen from Natural Focus in Melbourne has done a wonderful job in bringing this trip together.

For the Cusco -Machu Picchu area we have travelled in what has become to us as the “Yellow Bus”.Such a big bus for just four people. Pasquale our Guide and Migule our driver with Poo at one of our stops.

Don’t you love the little symbol on the side of the bus

We left Cusco and drove down,thank goodness, from that altitude, to the Sacred Valley. All along the way when you stop to look at the view, there is always someone who wants their photo taken.

We stopped at a Tourist Attraction run by a community of locals trying to keep alive the art of spinning and weaving . Lamas and Al Paccas and very friendly ones at that.

Cant imagine many aussie kids doing this all day. But then of course we didn’t notice any red cordial or fast food around. Isn’t she the cutest.

Another view of the Sacred Valley, notice the snow capped mountains in the background.

We then visited the village of Ollantaytambo and walked thru the Inca Ruins there. A bit of a climb but we made it.

It was then to our hotel for the evening and can you believe it, after a wonderful day spent with all those cute little animals, you guessed it, Poo ordered Al Pacca for his evening meal.
