Cusco, PERU

Greetings from the mountains of Peru, from the beautiful town of Cusco. The flight from Santiago via the capital city Lima was rough at times due to clouds but we crossed these amazing mountains and landed very high up in the town of Cusco. I could immediately feel the low levels of oxygen and get tired quick and feel dizzy at times. This old town is just amazing with many old buildings, a lovely old cathedral, houses built up along the mountain hills, and many Peruvian people still wearing their colourful clothes. Indeed feels like a very different life out here.

I am staying in a very quaint little B&B managed by a friendly ex-South African woman...who quickly took me to her "Nelson Mandela Bar" for a few drinks and a nice lunch -- overlooking the old town from the rooftop. I got to get out and take tons of pictures!!

After 3 nights here I am going on 4 day (3 nite) trek to the Machu Picchu Inca ruins.

Till later, Adios!
