Views of Cuzco

---

Eddie has been ill for the last two days and yesturday he didn't make it out of bed. We had to spend an extra night in the guest house with a private room so that he could recover.

Left to my own devices I decided to set out alone to see a few of the sights. Cuzco is a wondeful city and there is a great mix of Inca and Colonial Spanish influence in the buildings and the people. However it is a very self-concious place and plays well on its history for us tourists.

I decided to head up to the 15th Century Inca Fortressb that stands high ona hill top over the city. It was a real clib at times, especially at this altitude but the views were really stunning. Up there it is really peaceful and at times I felt I had the whole city and teh mountains around to myself.
