Machuu Pichuu Hike Part 2


Part 2 the anti climax !

 The town was in darkness upon our arrival around 6 pm , and the guides told us , black out in the whole town !!We didn't have any feeling about this initially as we were tired and maybe it’s for one hour ?   We booked our dinner and were brought to the room . However as the dinner went on, we started thinking this is really bad ! We hadn’t had our bath, there is no light  , no heater to boil water ?  Later, we found, to our dismay, that as we live on the 4th floor, the piping system is not powerful enough to pump water up to the 4th floor -- !!!

Auntie Winnie and I to strategize how we can clean ourselves .  The hotel actually provided good service , by sending 2 pails of water up to our rooms. We decided to wipe ourselves in the good water and forgo washing our hair.  It was a long early night for us..  We were waken up several times with the loud banging outside and wondering if the power supply had come back

 To our disappointment, early next morning, the power is still not back .  We had to bathe ourselves in the cold pails of water.  Auntie Pat and Yih went to one of the lower level rooms to bath in the cold water ( courtesy of another good hotel service)

We set off around 8 am to explore Machuu  Pichuu site :
Took a 20 minute bus to Machuu Pichuu site base :
