Inca Express to Cusco

Made it to Cusco!! The bus was good, a long day starting at 7am and going till 5pm but we stopped and saw some ruins, churches, had a great buffet lunch, stopped at the highest point for photos and ¨shopping¨ (anywhere the tourists stop you will find women selling alpaca hats, blankets etc etc.)
Stayed the first night in a dodgy hostel, met an aussie couple on the bus (among others) so we went looking for a hostal together but lots full so just went with this yuck one (they were only staying one night anyway). So second mission the next day (the first was breakfast) was to find a nice hostal, found a few ok ones and a really nice, really expensive one but finally found El Andariego. Only a few blocks from the main Plaza but well back off the street and I have my own room with private bathroom and free breakfast, with fruit! and the hot water is so hot and fullon it was great! Caught the local bus over to Pisac to see their Sunday market, some good quality weaving etc for good prices even before the bargaining. Climbed up to the ruins - what an absolute mission!! i didn`t have a very good view when we drove down to the city cos the bus was so full so i didn`t see just how high the temples were. When I started to climb I was underneath the mountain so didn´t realise it would be that much of a challenge, the amount of work that went in to building the terraces, houses and temples puts my pathetic effort to climb it all to shame! Some bad news though, lost my wallet on the way back to the hostal, lucky bugger that finds it cos I had just that morning gotten out 500soles (the max I can get out) so have had to cancel my visa card - should get a new one Thursday.
