Peru trip - Cusco

That day was meant to be a day at leisure in Cusco, so we made sure that we didn't rush anything. The weather was a bit threatening, but we still took a chance by taking a city ride sitting on top of an open, double decker bus.

Of course, we had left both our plastic ponchos purchased at Machu Picchu, as well as our shells at the hotels, so we were hugely exposed as we got going through the narrow streets of the Incas' capital. As always, these kinds of spectacular excursions are never as good as what they're built to be, but we knew it and accepted the outcome.

This said, we didn't receive one single drop on us! The rest of the day was spent walking the streets and plazas, observing the non-stop fiestas of all kinds and shopping for souvenirs. At night, we returned to our favorite tapas place, sit right at the bar and had a wonderful evening with superb food, good wine and fun neighbors on either sides of us, from the United States and... Belgium! A perfect Cusco day!
