So what was it all about ??? |
| The Bike trip was over. Those of us staying on to go to Machu Picchu headed to Cusco, Peru. While the others jumped on a plane back to whereever they came from (mainly the UK). |
| |
| We checked into the hotel in Cusco. Then head out for a bit of site seeing. |
| |
| The center of Cusco was a hive of activity. The sort of place you could quiet happily find a cafe, sit at one of the outside tables, then just watch the world by while sipping coffee (or in my case hot chocolate). |
| |
| The afternoon was an organised trip to Sacsaywaman, the remains of an Incan Citadel on the Northern out skirts of Cusco. |
| Built in the 15th centry by Pachacuti (and finished by his successors). The place has serveral spelling for its name including Sacsaywaman and Sacsayhuaman. This is nothing to do with Political Correctness, just the different ways the locals pronounce the name. |
| |
| On our way back to the Hotel we stopped at a little trading store. Where we saw a woman in traditional Inca dress doing some weaving. |
