of the Salkantay Mountain and then decended to tons of bananna plantaions and fruit trees - we were able to pick our own avacados and oranges for our breakfast, delicious. On the fifth day, Kristin´s birthday, we met Tom and Becky at the top of Machu Picchu. The ruins are absolutely gorgeous surrounded by mountains and live up to every and any expectation you might have. After spending the day taking a tour of the ruins, the four of us spent the night in luxury at the Sanctuary Lodge; sipping Pisco sours in the hot tub and enjoying a great dinner where the staff actually baked a cake and sang Happy Birthday to Kristin. 
From Machu Picchu we travelled to Urubamba. We toured the market and the Maras Maray 
ruins while stopping to take some really great landscape shots. Back at the hotel we indulged in a foot 
massage and then had dinner in front of their fireplace. Man we can really get used to this type of travel!!! After Urubamba we took a bus to Cusco to spend our last night together. While there we saw Sacsayhuaman and the nearby ruins as well as the Cathedral. For dinner we went to ChiCha´s from a local tip we got from our guide and they had some amazing ceviche (something Ben has officially become addicted to since we have been here).

In the morning Tom and Becky had to fly out to begin their Amazon trip. We had so much fun together, and I must say that we had a hard time adjusting to hostel life after we left them but managed!!!
