Pre Machu Picchu

We are leaving Cusco today to head towards MP.
I'm really excited because we decided to do it without a guide. Yesterday we rented camping gear and went grocery shopping for food. Today we leave by collectivo taxi to a small town about 5 hours away. We will camp one night there. The next day we plan to walk about 7 hours and camp at another town. On Monday we will spend a few hours walking to a hydroelectric power plant and then probably catch a quick 3PM train to the town at the base of Machu Picchu. The alternative is to just walk alongside the tracks for a few more hours (depending on how our legs feel). Early Tuesday morning (4AM) we will walk up to MP for the day!!

FYI...Scott and I Hasselhoffed the computers in the Hostal last night.
