The journey has begun

We are now seated in very comfy seats waiting for train to start. I expected luxury but this is superb. I hope we manage to stay awake.

During the journey we are served lunch and afternoon tea. The menu looks lovely.

It's now 10:07 and the pisco sour has just been served. It's very nice. Lets hope we're not 'piscoed' by the end of the trip.

The scenery right now is amazing. The photo is taken from the rail of the observation car.

There has been a fashion show and now we have singing and dancing. Wish I had the energy of the girl in the photo. Have to say the train is very relaxing with probably 50% asleep right now.

We started off in glorious sunshine with all the windows in the train open but slowly the clouds arrived and the temperature began to drop. We are now only 20 mins from Puno and the sky is very dramatic with lots of forked lightning. Pity the iPhone isn't quick enough to photograph it.
