Hola everyone
Flew into Cuzco today - about an hour from Lima.
Did orientation around where the house is - local supermarkets, corner stores and also the transport available. Catch a little mini van into the city with about 50 other people jammed in for about 20 cents - price is right!! Or you can get a taxi for about $2.
We had lunch in town - fabulous city. Cobble-stone walk ways everywhere. Lots of shopping to be had!! Lots of bloody hills LOL!! Bit puffed and headache with altitude but otherwise all good. You have to drink heaps of Coca tea - which is the plant that cocaine is derived from. Couple of the guys chewing on the leaves - leaves your mouth numb.
Met everyone yesterday in Lima last night. Mixed bunch. Working out our pecking order LOL! I had a Pisco sour - local drink and beer and probably about a glass of wine and I was stuffed LOL! I told them with a bit of grog I tend to want to go and sleep in the corner. Everyone is looking out for each other which is great. Great dinner too at local seafood restaurant. Nothing happened at the other end so food must be good! Got to watch the food a little bit more here though. Hygiene is a concern with the locals.
Lots of colourful people. Being blonde - even if pretend - and fair skinned gets a lot of looks and giggles. Lots of whistles too. Not interested but good for the ego!!
We have to share the computer with everyone else so will do my best to keep you posted. Rest day tomorrow. I'll upload some photos in next couple of days. Taken a few good ones.
Good night kiddies
Love Shell xx
