Today we got up at 8am and wandered into town to discover it´s the hottest day in Cusco thus far!  We grabbed coffee on a balcony and decided we´d hit some of the museums and galleries.So we went to Museo de Arte y Monasterio de Santa Catalina, Museo Municipal de Arte Contemporaneo, Museo Historico Regional and the Museo de Arte Popular.  All were quite small but all definitely worth a visit on the Tourist Ticket we have.  Think this af...

Again, we woke up early (6.30am) to get ready for our rearranged paragliding trip.  However, they did not turn up again (until 9am however, so at least they came this time!).  We took a jeep into the Sacred Valley with our paragliding instructor. It was so amazing to see the biggest of Peru´s mountains topped in snow with clouds coming over them. I only brought my disposable camera with me so I really hope the photos come out...When we arrived at ...

We found some little markets and stocked up on some water and a few provisions.  Later we had a beer overlooking the Plazas de Armas whilst watching a festa...

We´ve now flown from Lima to Cusco up in the mountains and it is COLD! It also rained a little bit today but we´ve had some really hot sun too so all in all not too bad.  To catch our flight from Lima we had to be up at 5.30am which was surprisingly easy.  We were packed and ready to go by 6.30am when our taxi driver Raymond arrived to take us to the airport.  We arrived just after 7.00am and checked in unbelievably quickly and then jus...
