MACHU PICHU part 3

RORY AT THE VERY TOP OF WYNAPICCHU. HE CARRIED THE FAMILY WATER SUPPLIES TO THE TOP!! JUST LOOK AT HOW HIGH WE ARE FROM MACHU PICCHU BELOW. IT WAS QUITE A FEAT TO MAKE IT TO THE TOP, EVERYONE INCLUDING JAMES MADE IT. ONLY 400 PEOPLE A DAY ARE ALLOWED TO ATTEMPT THE CLIMB. UNTIL RECENTLY, THERE WAS A 'SKULL AND CROSS-BONES' SIGN AT THE ENTRY GATES! HARDLY SURPRISING AS THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP YOU TUMBLING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN TO THE VALLEY FLOOR BELOW IF YOU LOSE YOUR FOOTING. WE DID ASK THE GUIDE IF IT WS SUITABLE FOR THE FAMILY TO ATTEMPT BEFOREHAND!! HAD WE KNOW JUST WHAT IT WAS LIKE WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE ATTEMPTED IT!

RORY HAVING A REST WITH A VEIW!













RORY LEADING THE WAY ON THE DECENT...BRAVE LAD! THE INCA STEPS ARE AS STEEP AS THEY ARE UNEVEN.
THIS GUIDE WAS ONLY 2 OR 3 STEPS IN FRONT OF DAVID WHEN HE TOOK THIS PICTURE...JUST TO GIVE AN IMPRESSION OF THE VERTICAL DROP.!
