We awoke on Sunday morning to hear the rain at the window and so decided to have a lie in followed by a breakfast of bacon rolls and coffee. After catching up on a few chores, we ventured out with umbrellas and goves to check out the local theatre for the evening's entertainment.
The sun had now come out and in the main Plaza de Armas a huge parade of children´s dancing groups was beginning. There were about 20 groups, all dressed in various traditional costumes performing typical Peruvian dances.The sun by now was really hot and RM had to nip back to the nearby hotel for sun cream and drop off jackets and gloves.
The weather then took a turn for the worse again, and so it was then time for Sunday lunch. We headed to Paddy Flaherty´s for shepherds pie and roast chicken, stuffing, veg, mash and gravy!
Our evening involved yet more dancing at the theatre where we were entertained again with typical Peruvian dancing.
Having then being danced out we headed to the Norton Rats Tavern for happy hour night caps!
It is now Monday and our last day in Cusco and so we have spent a very leisurely day. We visited the local market which sold everything you could want for. We splashed out on a large bag for 10 Soles (two pounds) as we are worried that our new suitcase with the 5 year guarantee is not going to make it. We also bought coco sweets for you all to try on return and had our shoes shined for 5 soles each. The visit was complete with HJ getting weighed for 1 soles - she was very pleased to find that the altitude gastric band effect had resulted in a 3 kg weight loss! We then used our Cusco Tourist Ticket to visit a couple of final museums before having a light lunch.
Tomorrow we move onto Ecuador where we will be spending our first 5 nights in the captial Quito.
