The third day of the Inca trail was over all easier, but it was definately the longest day. There was a lot of downstair walking which was quite hard for me. I'm pretty sure that I strained a muscle in the back of my knee on the second day, so walking at all hurt. We climbed more stairs for about two hours before we reached the part of all downhill. When we reached the top we could see Aguas Calientes, the town of Machu Picchu and the mountain of Machu Picchu.
Far away Aguas Calientes
It was also a big day of ruins. We visited quite a few, and of course past Lydia took no notes! Idiot... The fog was fanastic all day. I actually saw my life flash before my eyes one time that day too! I tripped on a stair and almost fell off a cliff! I started crying I was so scared, like I was inches away!! But I didn't fall to my death despite falling a few more times. We stopped at one ruin that was full of llamas and that was fun too!
We got closer and closer, but very slowly... We finally got to camp and slept like crazy for Machu Picchu the next day!
Addie and Julia goofing around. We had gone down 1388 Inca steps
