Matt
with guinea pig...Well we got back to Cusco last night after a train back from Machu Picchu and what a beautiful train ride, it really is a gorgeous valley.
We showered (finally!!!!YAY!) and went to get some food. We were pretty buggered but we wanted to try guinea pig (cuy) and alpaca and so we arranged to meet Rob, Jason, Maryke & Pascal. Maryke & Pascal could not make it (passed out) so the four of us went. We found a nice restaurant and Rob & I ordered alpaca, while Jason & Matt got guinea pig.
mmm not sure if the cuy was a good idea. It came out grilled and whole. Head in tact in fact Jason´s was perfect, the ears, jaw intact with a little claw reaching out... Now Jason did try but I thing the little claw was too much (that and the mouth). So we had to ask it to be taken away before he raced to the bathroom...
Matt fared better, but there was very little meat (funny that) and it wasn´t really nice (not bad, but just not nice!)
Alpaca was great though!!!
The last day we pretty much spent in
a pub with the Canadians and the Dutch. Luckily as it poored down. so we said goodbye for now to Rob & Jason.
Maryke and Pascal are off to Copacabana, Bolivia - Lake Titikaka, with us so we will see them in the morning.
Now we have an overnight bus ride to look forward too....
