:14:05
So, he immediately had one of
his raving fits during the first night.
:14:09
The next day we built a roof of
palm leaves above his tent.
:14:17
Still discomforted, he moved
into the hotel of Machu Picchu.
:14:23
At the time, there was only one
hotel with eight rooms.
:14:27
There was nothing here either...
:14:29
...except for a single hut
where I used to sleep.
:14:35
A native indian woman lived there.
:14:39
A hunch-backed dwarf
with nine children.
:14:41
She also had 100-150 guinea-pigs,
which were there to eat.
:14:47
At night they crawled all over me,
and that was uncomfortable.
:14:51
So, I moved in with the indians.
450 indians from the highlands...
:14:56
...from an altitude of 15,000 ft.,
who stayed in this big barn.
:15:01
in a radius of about 100 miles, no
possiblity to find shelter existed.
:15:09
I slept in there with them.
:15:12
The last two days before shooting
started were rather chaotic.
:15:16
I tried to establish some order and
worked 2 days and nights straight.
:15:21
Before going to sleep at dawn,
for one hour, I told them:
:15:24
Please, wake me up when you take
off in the train, but they forgot.
:15:29
I had been forgotten and in a
white hot panic I realized...
:15:35
...the train was taking off. I was fully
dressed, apart from my shoes.
:15:38
I ran after the departing train, 200
yards barefoot, across broken stone.
:15:43
With bleeding feet I barely
reached a step and got on.
:15:49
That was perhaps the most
important shooting day in my life.
:15:55
When I finally arrived up here,
there was a dense fog.
