Almost time to get a move on now. We had a nice couple of hours sat in the square after our pisco sours and enjoyed watching the children feed the pigeons, which are everywhere!! Mum, you would hate it! They are, at least, the most well fed and non scruffy-looking pigeons I have ever seen. They were feeding from peoples hands and flying over the square whenever a child decided to scare them. I was jealous of both the children, as pigeon scaring is an amazing past time, unfortunately frowned upon in adulthood, and the people somehow taking pigeon selfies with the birds sat on their arms (we had no food to feed them and also, I think it would have scared me).

We met up with Richard after this and we are now chilling in the hostel sorting out stuff for the overnight bus to Cusco. I am finally wearing my gringo pants! Yay! Oh and yes we are about to eat a trusty McDonald's.Read more
