Today was a traveling day, however we did it in style. We woke up and said good-bye to Cusco, our home away from home here in South America. It was really sad saying bye to Garnet, because I believe the three of us would be great friends if we only lived in the same country. But we put on a smile because we are seeing a whole new place the next day.
Allison and I booked a train from Cusco to Puno, Peru before we left the States. The train was really posh, with three course meals, free drinks, and entertainment. It was a bit over the top for backpackers considering we were the youngest people on the train. The train was 10 hours, but it doesn´t seem as long when you are free to walk around a bit. The back of the train had an observatory open to the air. They had live Peruvian music a couple of times throughout the trip. I had alpaca meat as an appetizer for lunch. It was actually quite nice. Lunch was served with wine, then they had afternoon tea a couple of hours later with champagne, cookies, and a small sandwich. Allison and I are low maintenance ladies, so the train as a different element we aren´t used to.
