First night in cusco
If i have learnt one thing from this trip it is DONT DRINK BIG WHEN ON YOUR FIRST NIGHT AT ALTITUDE !
We arrived at cusco in the morning to fantastic weather, clear skies and have found that its the sort of place you could spend a few months exploring.
We got to our hostal, which was more like a hotel could not ignore the chears and yelling from outside. We then realised, after figuring the time difference that the world cup final was on. So we went to rosies and irish pub directally across from our place to drink a few tallies and enjoy the game. Man that Zinedine Zidane has a mean headbut, I cant believe he flawed a guy with a shot to the chest.
After drinking to much beer for our new altitude we crashed back at our place for a few hours then headed out for more punishment. After visiting a few average bars we found our new local; a gringo salsa bar called mythology. After some salsa lessons from the locals and drinking with english exchange students we ambled home at about 4am.
(drunken haka)
The next morning we were left with the question is the headache from the previous night or the altitude here.
Today, we managed, against the thin air, to get up to the cusco outlook where a large jesus statue lives. The weather here is like auckland at the moment on the best of days, about 12 degress with clear skies.
Tomorrow we are mountian biking to some ruins and a big amptheatre thing that looks kinda cool. After that we have the inca trail and white water rafting.
