Put Me Up On The Angels´ Shoulders


A walking tour of Cuzco to the top of the city, where some of the youngsters are feeling the altitude. We do okay and maybe are acclimatising after all.  Still only taking the train to Machu Picchu though!

Andy Carroll again



Alpaca workshop
A Luthier, luthiering
We saw the White Christ (Cristo Blanco), some more Inca ruins, a Luthier's workshop and Kim bought some alpaca legwarmers from the alpaca shop.




Cuzco is very pretty and very touristy, for obvious reasons, essentially one large trap, but the San Pedro market is good, with fruit, veg, meat, cheese, more dried things and lots of nice trinkets.

Margarita time: only 30 bob a pint!
We have a lovely juice (jugo) from Margarita: strawberry and banana for Kim, carrot and orange to combat my cold - most definitely not hiking three or four days to Machu Picchu. I´d only end up being carried up on a mule, and no-one wants that on their holidays.
