Cuzco Peru

---

Day 54. Today was a well earned free day in Cuzco. Time to arrange laundry, rest weary bodies & for me time to catch up on the blog. In the morning we took a leisurely walk into the city hoping for a little more warmth as shorts were the only clean clothes not in the laundry & the sun duly obliged. On reflection we have been very lucky with the weather as the wet season doesn't officially end till the end of April. While the dry season is the preferred tourist season it can get very hot.

We headed to the San Blas square where a weekly artisan market is held. Ruth really enjoyed it inspecting every conceivable item & was able to bargain for some nice trinkets but I needed to wanders bit wider & take in some of the quieter back streets of the upper city. Some really quirky hostels & restaurants. In the afternoon Ruth headed for a massage appointment while I headed back to do some blogging.

Just the quite day we needed before heading to Puno tomorrow.
