Day 56 - Monday 26th April
Another hearty Real McCoys Full English later and I took the city tour of local Incan ruins, all impressive with Saqsayhuaman (pronounced sexy woman) taking the prize. HUGE stones perfectly carved to form the Puma's head to the body that the shape of Cusco takes up, complete with 3 huge towers for the eyes and mouth (sadly long since destroyed by the Spanish)...
For the evening I met up with the guys for one last dinner with Jon, Nick and Katy before they headed off for Lima, Panama and beyond. Amazing Thai food seemed appropriate...
After they left I headed up to a lookout point to take in the city by night and checked out (and swiftly left) the disgustingly gringo discotheques...
Day 57 - Tuesday 27th April
Another day, another tour, this time of the whole Sacred Valley. Cool ruins but everything's a little dry after Machu Picchu! Plus it got really cold so bought a suitable Alpaca jumper and gloves. I am a tourist after all.
Day 58 - Wednesday 28th April
I hadn't fancied taking the bus out of Cusco straight away so stuck around for a chillout day. Hung out in the main plaza to read, skyped home and watched Barca disappointingly only win 1-0 to put Inter into the Champions League final. DULL. Explored Cusco one last time, bought some alpaca socks and a hat and slowly made my way to a slightly crappy bus to Arequipa...
