Inkove v Ekvadoru-Ingapirca

---

Opet jsme byli vzbuzeni mistnimi kohouty - ano i v centrech velkych mest se chovaji slepice a kohouti. Ale zase jsme meli krasne pocasi,ostatne jako obvykle. Vim, ze asi v Cechach ci Slovensku to neni nic moc, ale tady je porad pres 20 a i kdyz nesviti, porad je tu na tricko...
Ingapirca je nejvetsi inckou pamatkou na uzemi Ekvadoru, a proto jsme se uz moc tesili. Realita byla trochu zklamanim. Vetsina je pouze zaklady zdi a ze samotneho chramu slunce se zachovala jen mala cast, zbytek rozbili Spanele a pouzili kameny na stavby kostelu po Ekvadoru. Dalsim nedostatkem byla i totalni absence popisku v anglictine - neco jsme pochytili, ale na to, ze platite 6 dolaru, cekate, ze aspon par slov bude v angline, no nic... Den zachranili volne pasouci se lamy a male lamatko, ani se nebali a mohli jste kolem nich chodit aniz zvedli hlavu.
Vecer jsme vyrazili najit /uz po kolikate/ slusnou restauraci a tentokrate jsme trefili do cerneho - i Kacence chutnalo a navic jsme ochutnali dalsi mistni speciality. Prvni byla tortilla de choclo-placka z mistni kukurice se syrem a 2. empanada / tasticka z testa/ se syrem opet, ale da se i s masem. Moc nam to chutnalo a uz se tesime na dalsi.


Today, again, we got woken up by local cocks - yes they keep cocks and chicken even in big cities. The weather was lovely and warm again as usual. We know its probably much worse in UK, but here is always over 20 degrees and even when sun is not shining you can wear just T-shirt.
Ingapirca is the biggest incas site in Ecuador and therefore we expected a lot. Reality was quite a dissapoinment. Most of it were just walls and there was just a bit left from the Temple of the Sun the rest was used by Spaniards for their churches. Another downside was a total lack of English descriptions - we understood something, but when you pay 6 dollars you would expect at least a few words should be in English for us who are not fluent in Spanish. The day was saved by local lamas freely feeding themself in between the foundations.
In the eve we set off to find a decent place to fill our bellies and this time we hit bullseye - even Katarina did like it a lot and ate it all. we had to try something local as a dessert - 1. was tortilla de choclo - sort of pancake made from maize with cheese, 2. empanada /sour dough based salty shaped like apple trurnover thing/ again with cheese, but can be filled with meat either. Just delicious and we are looking forward to another go.
