Party on the Vistadome

I forgot to mention our train ride back from Aguas Calientes to Ollantytambo the other day. Perurail which runs the trains has 3 options: the backpacker, vistadome and the fancy shmancy one. We took backpacker going and vistadome coming back. Now the vistadome was beautiful, huge windows that went up above your head to give you a great view. But we were still skeptical as to why it was about $40 more than the backpacker. that was until a crazy Peruvian dancer came out in one of those Mexican wrestling looking masks and danced up and down the aisle shaking some tambourine type thing and staring at you. I cant really do this story justice without pictures (which will be coming when i return) but trust me, it was a riot. And if the weird traditional dancer wasn´t bizarre enough there was a fashion show to top it off. Picture a techno version of ¨are you coming to san francisco¨and then these two waiters on the train runningin and out of the bathroom changing into sweaters and scarfs and walking up and down the lenght of the train, and oh yes, even doing the spin and smile.
hysterical!!
so worth the $40 more? for the view AND the laughs?? yep, i think it´s worth it.
