Well here we are in Inca capital - a lovely city of half a million people - but before continuing look at the floor-show on our last night in Puno (quite memorable)
Cusco has maintained the original walled old Spanish city - churches, houses, cobblestone streets, the whole lot. It is a tourist Mecca and is a bit daunting, a bit expensive but its fantastic!
We've covered a bit of territory here - churches, museums, and art/craft districts, and being Holy Week this Catholic city is buzzing - today Palm Sunday everyone was out this morning with fronds for their processions.
Headed out to The Sacred Valley today exploring the remains of major Inca centres of Pisac and Ollantaytambo and were amazed at what they achieved architecturally so long ago
Well tomorrow is the BIG day - up 5am and head off for Machu Pichu - the whole reason for this Gadabout. We are a bit apprehensive - we hope it lives up to our expectations, but its got to be good to beat the flight of the condors. We'll let you know!
