• Free day in Cusco

    January 28 in Peru ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Leisurely wake up this morning and a BIG breakfast. Then off to the Inka museum which was very educational.

    Highlight of the day was the Chocolate making class and to learn the history of chocolate. Did you know they make chocolate here from Guinea Pig milk? What a scream!!!

    Went back to the markets to buy some souvenirs and ate a BIG bowl of chicken soup. The piece of chicken I had was so big I could eat it with just a spoon. Enjoyed the potato and tapioca though and lots of pasta in it. Delicious soup.

    Sandra peeled off to go do a Peruvian cooking class and I did some more shopping on the way back to the hotel. My feet are hurting too much to cope with a full days of walking. Treated myself to a lovely cocktail made with Rosella cordial. Yummy!!!

    I’m all packed now, waiting for Sandra to come home safely.

    We are off to Argentina tomorrow!! Not many days till we get on the boat to Antarctica. So excited.
