Sun 15th Aug. A climb up Huaynu Picchu

A 4.30 am start to get to the gate for the climb up the very pointy Huaynu Picchu.

Against all my better principles I'd given in and bought myself a Peruvian style cap.
The track and stairways were very narrow. This gives no idea of the hundreds of feet of drop to one side.
There were even Inca tunnels to negotiate.
At the summit we were unable to see the ruins below because of the cloud.
A very satisfying climb so time for coffee then lunchime pizza and a jug of sangria.
