Temperature: 10C to 25C, rain and sunshine Highlights: We arrived in Cuzco at 4AM in the morning in the driving rain to meet a man named Oswaldo. He kindly took us to his campground in the centre (Plaza de Armas). Alpaca Cordon Blue (Steve) is a popular dish, made from some Andean camel and is really quite....errr.... special. Local popcorn and Trout ceviche fare some of the best in the world here. Cuzco is a really colourful place and offers everything from great shopping, food, museums, a monastery, a cathedral to folk and salsa dancing and an Irish pub. After chilling and catching up on emails we went on a City and nearby Ruins tour. The first ruin was called Saqsaywaman, pronounced Sexy Woman (Steve hasn't stopped saying this word ever since! Surprised?!). The ruins of of Q'enqo, Pukapukara and Tambomachay are equally impressive in their own way. Its easy to see why they call it the Sacred Valley, with mountains rising over 15000 feet and a wild river cutting through it, carving its way through the base. With the ruins of Pisaq perched on cliff edges, and Ollatayambo stretching as high as the rolling clouds. Our last stop was Chinchero, an old Spanish town lying on the ruins of an old Inka City where the local children were preparing for Easter in the eclectic church. Disappointments: Due to the presidential election partying was prohibited, bars closed and Peruvians weren't allowed to drink alcohol for the 48 hours prior. Other: If anyone wants to see another ruin, please call is in 2009!
