Well, I'm off to Machu Picchu. It looks like I missed the train so I guess I will have to take a hike on the Inca Trail... Sigh...

Apparently it's a four day hike, and I have NO BUG SPRAY! I should start hiking, but the trail looks soooooo steep. Inca Trail, here I come!

It's been 12 hours since I started hiking, and it's getting dark. I'd better find a place to stay for tonight... While I look around, I'll tell you what has happened so far... After about three hours, I came to a really steep part of the trail - It looked a bit like a mountain. Then, after climbing it, there was another one, and another one! Hopefully there won't be too many hills tomorrow. Choo! Chooooo! What was that?

I found the train!!! Hopefully the train will take me farther while I sleep..........zz..zzz...z...

It's day two of my journey, and I didn't get too far while I slept - Apparently the train took a little side trip, and I only got about two hours ahead of where I would of been if I hadn't got onto the train at all. So, to avoid incidents like that again, I have decided not to take any more trains, and to WALK!

Right now I have discovered that there are no more hills - at least for a while - So it looks like it won't be too hard to get to Machu Picchu.

Wow, it looks like a huge forest - well a forest for ants! There are a hole bunch of plants here. I'll tell you about my trip later...

Well, I think it's time to stop again. I've found a nice tree that to sleep next to. Anyways, while I was hiking on the trail, a small animal - with really short stubby legs - scramble across the trail. I followed it for a while, then I ended up here. Now that I look up to look for the moon, I find that I have actually walked around a hill. Maybe this will help me... But for now, I need to get some sleep.

It's day three of my hike to Machu Picchu, and I'm almost out of food! I guess I'll have to be carefull... Well, it started to rain over night, and I got a little wet - so did my food! Ahhh!

Hi again, I've decided to run most of the way so I will get there faster - and avoid the rain!

Yeah, couldn't you just buy bugspray? And if you are in the mountains, won't the bugs be better, not worse?
