Inka Trail to Machu Pichu

So the Inka Trail to Machu Pichu for which I waited so much is...done. I´m back. i´ve seen these world famous misterious ruins. (For those who don´t know what Machu Pichu is: it´s a lost town of Inkas in the middle of Andes.) As b4 I´ve seen all the ruins around Cusco and I felt like I´ve got enough of ruins for a while eventually , as I suspected I think I enjoyed the trek itself more than the Machu Pichu. Of course it is very spiritual and magical place and also what was good it´s so big that we didnt´feel like among all these tourist - I was told that it´s so crowded but we still could find a place for a solitary contemplation, which was great. The trek 4 days a group of 16 people, nice young, international yet English speaking bunch - we all became friends and had great fun. It felt like a big family, everybody knew who suffered from altitude (few people did)or from stomach problems. Everybody took care of everybody and that was so great. There was these group of 5 South Africans (first Sth Af. I met during my trip) and I have to say they were very cool and very friendly people. Our tour operator provided excellent service. It wasn´t cheap but we hadn´t expected 3-courses meal twice a day +you wouldn´t believe...tea and coffe brought to our tents for a good wake up!
Then on day 4th wake up at 4am to get to the Sun Gate -view point to see sun rising over the Machu Pichu. We were not hikking, we were running for it. And then waiting all together ready with our cameras. This was magic.
