Machu Picchu&#8217;s one of mummy&#8217;s dream destinations, and it&#8217;s surreal that I got to see it in this lifetime with you and bubba. You don&#8217;t remember anything about it&#8230; You actually pooped while we were wandering within the archaeological site. Mummy had to quickly change your nappies on some random bench cause the toilet was so far away!<\/p>\n<p>Also, back in Aguas Calientes (town at the base of Machu Picchu) in the afternoon, we found out there was a landslide which blocked the only railroad that services Peru Rail and heaps of us tourists were stranded for hours. While waiting at the station for the next available train, you started <del>walking<\/del> running by yourself! Watch the videos below, baby love.<\/p>\n<p>Mummy and bubba were probably the only happy tourists at the train station. Seeing you finally walk beat finally seeing Machu Picchu with me own eyes!
