It was sooo nice to have a good sleep in a bed, and we started the day with breakfast on the roof of the hostel overlooking el misti (huge snow capped volcano nearby) in the sunshine...lovely start to the holiday.
Our next challenge was to sort out tickets for going up to Macchu Pichu. As it´s the main tourist destination nearby you might think that would be simple but it turned out not to be... after several hours trying to get things arranged, having to visit a succession of banks to get dollars out, and finding that journeys had suddenly doubled in price, we finally got booked but have to leave this evening to be able to fit it all in. We are leaving tonight on the overnight bus (aagh) and coming back Sunday.
We recovered with cervezas and toasted sandwiches on another sunlit terrace :-) and all we need to do now is fit all the stuff we need for now til Sunday into a tiny rucksack. Hm.
Wish us luck!
Sarah´s mum´s case is still lost...but she is managing with the help of a pants loan from Sarah.
No idea if there will be internet in Cusco or not, but if not, just google some pics of it and feel suitably envious until I can report back.
If you are having such a good time in peru, why does your location still say london.....;-) prove you are there by posting a pic of you munching on a small childs pet!
