we took a two hour bus ride to the train station. and then a two hour train ride to another bus station located in a city in the mountains, really nice by the way. i don’t remember the exact name of the city but it was pretty cool i guess. there were a lot of little shops and restaurants everywhere. there were also a lot of racist restaurant employees which made me want to punch everyone in sight. we had to go into a small motel and drop off all our stuff before getting on the bus up to the ruins. by the way, i wanna know why khoi is so petty about wherever we stay. he’s always complaining about the smallest things, like, yeah all the places were kinda crappy but i can’t blame cau for struggling to find a nice place to stay, on a budget, in a foreign country. every time khoi would complain i wanted to kick him out and make him sleep on the streets. anyways, we had to take a bus all the way up the mountains, where we would hike a little ways up and see the ruins. another reason why i don’t particularly enjoy traveling with khoi and y vien; they get very motion sick. which, isn’t their fault, i know, but that makes it harder for the kids to actually enjoy what’s happening and just makes it harder for everyone else. yeah sure, pay a lot of money for your kids to go up mountains and fly on planes and ride trains, even if they get motion sick, it’s about the experience right? i think they’ll forever remember peru as the place that made their heads fall off. also, i think thucquyen wasn’t used to the constant changes of transportation and speeds, the bus, then a train, then another bus, and then climbing up the mountain. and she was having a hard time breathing. but yeah, make her scale the mountain for a few pictures. i wasn’t really having any major problems throughout the whole trip but seeing everyone else have so many difficulties, it was hard to enjoy myself. i was barely even looking at the ruins cause i kept hearing khoi and y vien complain about how they wanted to get down. i feel like if we had waited until they were older to bring them along with us on all our trips i would be able to tolerate them more. it’s whatever though, nobody ever listens to me. the ruins were cool though, i wonder how long until a walmart gets built there. i’m joking i’m pretty sure it’s a natural reservation or whatever it’s called. machu picchu experience: 7/10
