A couple of days back the Tigers engine computer started telling me it was time to change the fuel filter. This was a bit of a surprise as at the start of that day I am sure the same computer said we had 40% life remaining. Guess we picked up some dirty fuel along the Cusco road. So this morning we went off to the local Volvo/Mitsubishi dealer to get it changed - luckily I have a number of spares. I was a bit anxious about this because the vehicle is sometimes difficult to prime and start after a fuel filter change. But I should not have worried. The guys at the local Volvo dealer had it changed and the vehicle running again in 40 minutes from the time I walked into the showroom. Also only cost us $13.00.

Then it was time to buy train tickets for our side trip to Machu Picchu. We waited over an hour to be served even though this is apparently the low season. But we got what we needed; a 7:00 am departure tomorrow morning.
