Today we decided to stay in and around Cusco and just take it easy ahead of the hike start tomorrow. After breakfast we walked up to another part of town that we have not visited and because we were a little later, the streets were already crowded. Late morning we went back to the hotel and just before we left to go get lunch it started to rain so we about turned and had lunch in the hotel.
The rain stopped and we went out again, while walking around the main square we bumped into a couple of Brits and after a brief conversation, worked out that they were from the same town as Rob, they were part of a tour group and as they were walking away, they mentioned they owned an Alpaca farm in the UK !! How small is the world sometimes. Their farm is called Pennybridge Alpacas and they have over a 100 animals.
Dinner tonight was Italian and it was excellent but on the way there we saw a parade it was a bit spooky as some of them had full face knitted mask, talking of which, how spooky is this piece of art in our hotel room!
After dinner we walked down to the main square again and there was national dancing happening again. Will post the video to facebook later. Tomorrow we move hotel and start the hike to Machu Pichu. May be able to blog tomorrow night as we are still in Cusco but will then go dark until a week Sunday.
