Sundays are the same everywhere in the world!

And the award for nicest bar in Cusco goes to Mandelas Bar, has very cool roof terrace with amazing views and a nice line in flambeed fruit pancakes. Last night only kicked off about half twelve...Went to Mama Africas which C immediately compared to Paramount (!) possibly getting withdrawal symptoms....and by 4.30am I was eating some dodgy takeaway and trying to get rid of a klingon that we picked up somewhere along the way. Spoke no English, my Spanish is limited shall we say, and the international language of ignoring him didn´t work. We gave him sols that he wanted in the hope that he´d go away, but he came back with a carton of vino tinto. Classy man. No one wants to drink AFTER their dodgy takeaway! I´m really not looking that attractive (would you believe?? ;)) but C & I are getting our fair share plus of the sleazy man attention. Went shopping yesterday...mainly for an extra jumper as its freezing, but everyone is trying to sell something! You think they´re a normal person on the street, then they suddenly offer to sell you an engraved fruit or a knitted finger puppet. Postcard boys are the worst.....three foot nothing con artists with a cute face! Salesmen or what! Addresses by email please...I have a lot of postcards to dispose of. Then did what most people here seem to do in the day, (as have no desire to see any more dead bodies, no matter how ancient) went to watch film. Mona Lisa´s smile, which was blatantly a girlie film, and the 3 accidental blokes left halfway through, while the ones who´d ben dragged by girlfriends had to stick it out! Me & C thought it was good, but then we both like girlie films anyway even the universally panned ones. Planning on going to Macchu Picchuu Pueblo tomorrow...but having issues finding a bed for the night, which you wouldn´t think would be a problem as we are in the very middle of the low low season. Low. Low. So I think we´re just going to get on a train in the morning anyway. There will be something....it´s February so surely somewhere will want us!
