We passed through high barren planes and fertile valleys on the way to Cusco. So much manual and labour intensive work - one person sitting on the edge of the road watching a couple of tethered animals or in a paddock with several animals.
Our luch by the river was joined by a group of boys who stayed around waiting for leftovers – certainly put smiles on their faces. I managed to give away some of those clip on koalas I had taken with me as well.
Sunday seemed to be washing day – we saw several groups of people doing their washing in the streams, and clothes spread out over the rocks or the bushes to dry. There’s so much pollution, just can’t get used to that!
Today we also experienced a garage comfort stop that was less desirable than the really small clump of reeds we’d used earlier in the day. We were warned!!!
First sights of Cusco is the poor areas, but the orientation tour of the area surrounding our hotel shows narrow streets and lanes often with courtyards enclosed, LOTS of shops, stalls, street hawkers. Seems like a vibrant city … lots to explore.
Once again I didn’t make it to the group dinner, but I heard that guinea pig was on the hit list. Mike had the whole guinea pig… roasted. Not really what he was expecting and the verdict was …mmm not something he would recommend.
