Peru 7 - Leaving Aguaes Caliente & Off to Puno
The Journey Back to Cuzco & On To Puno and Lake TitiCaca
The photo here shows the Inca statue in the centre of Aguaes Caliente, where we stayed the night following our visit to Machu Picchu and our chance meeting with Amsi, alias Gaijin.Our journey back by train was fairly uneventful. Once again the train was fairly full, and the staff provided a snack meal which was served to a fairly high standard, and included coca tea, and a soft drink.
The journey back was still due to take some four and halkf hours, so we sttled back to snoozxe, look at the magnificent scenery through the panoramic windows, or read.
The staff, however, had laid on some entertainment, which included a display of dancing, and a fashion show consisting of clothing items made from alpaca wool. These items were very expensive, with even the cheapest alpaca scasrf costing over $100, with a jumper costing as much as $500! Whilst the quality of the finished products was excellent, we couldn't afford any of them, though several of the others in our carriage were quite happy to get out their credit cards.
It was all very entertaining, and the others in the carriage seemed to apreciate it.
The only problem with the fashion show was that it seemed to go on for too long, and though the female crew member certainly seemed to enjoy the attention, the male waiter was clearly not so happy at being the centre of attention!
