Well, off to a bit of a disappointing start. Went to print out my receipt and e-ticket for Machu Picchu and the additional hike up Huayna mountain only to find that after several tries to purchase the ticket, which included many calls to my bank to authorize the purchase, I inadvertently chose Afghanistan as my county of origin. Since the country did not match my passport number, I guess they cancelled my entry ticket. There is a limited number of entry passes issued per day. When I bought mine originally, there was only 25 left. Now there is zero. So, I will call the Ministerio De Cultura Monday morning and see what I can do. If they cant or wont work with me, I can still get into the ruins and climb Montana. So, Huayna is the mountain you see in the back of most photos of Machu Picchu. Montana is the mountain where most of those photos are taken from. See this link for a quick expanation of the differences. Montana versus Huayna. If you know me at all you know that I must climb Huayna. People say that it is possible that your life will change completely after reaching the top of Huayna. So, working on attracting bees with honey Monday even though I dont speak the language or understand the culture. If that doesnt work I will move into the bribe stage. Lastly, crying and pouting. Until next time……..
