The Ruins of Ollantaytambo

The hardest part about this town is pronouncing the name. We spent yesterday in Pisac hiking the ruins there and then minibused our way to Ollantaytambo. O little town of PisacIt took 3 buses and 2 and a half hours and cost $1. Public transportation is crazy cheap here if you don´t mind riding with 20 people in a van that should hold 6. It´s all about the front seat next to the window. Muy importante. Ollanta is very cool with ruins right outside our bedroom window. We´re staying in KB Tambo and its a great place run by a very cool american dude. Last night we dined on wood fired brick oven pizza and when the power went out the place was full of candles and the wood fired oven kept cranking so it didn´t even matter. We just ordered more mojitos and then ran home in torrential rain. We´re off to Machu Picchu tomorrow by train and then return to Cusco in the evening and then plan to head south to Lake Titicaca.

Adios amigos!
