What a discovery!!!

Couldn't believe it - Zac took us to a new hardware store, right here in Cusco.  Last visit here we spent ages walking streets past all these over-crowded small hardware shops looking for simple items, like clothes airers, or timber to construct one.  Couldn't find these things, and of course we didn't have the language to ask.  What an impossible task. 

But now - what does this look like????

 BUNNINGS .... first difference was - the car park was almost empty.  Did see people loading their purchase into and onto small taxis. 


Inside looked similar - Boys had fun 'browsing'!!  Some areas were much bigger here - ceramic tiles for instance.  And security items, eg spikes to go on top of courtyard walls... Others were much smaller - plant area was very small.

 Considering options - just cant do that in the usual overcrowded hardware shops.  We spent most of the morning there - not quite up to Lex's record, but interesting all the same.
And of course, once home, the 'odd jobs' started.
