"The Lost City of the Incas"

MACHU PICCHU - Man-Made 7 Wonders of the World

Shall let the pictures do the talking..... TONS of pictures~ & I got to stress this again man, it was so tiring picking out pictures from the 7000++ pictures ok!!! Furthermore the pictures came from 2 separate cameras. So i had to compare and choose the nicer ones out... =.= followed by resizing them, uploading, copying and pasting the code.
ITS.DAMN.TIRING.

IMG_1104 IMG_1099
Still looking happy and energectic cuz the hike has only just begun.......

IMG_3036

IMG_3081
This part was the worst! There were no steps for us to get down. Either u slide your butt down across this uneven big rock and get bruises, or be like us - climbing like a spiderman down! lol~

We're the stars again.......

IMG_3136

After a whole day, we were feeling really tired and thirsty (we exhausted all of our water supply while hiking..) so we went to the cafe outside to have a drink. And i was making loads of noise saying that i wanna get back to the hostel because i was sticky and smelly and dirty all over. In short, i felt really yucky. We were SO CLOSE to going back.
But luckily Erjie mentioned about going in once more to just snap a few more pictures... and goodness, we saw this.......
