Here in Peru

Flight over the Andes from Lima to Cusco

Well I arrived in Peru on Wednesday after travelling for nearly 24 hours. Mairi met me at the airport and we got a bus down to the hostel.
In spite of altitude we
had a good walk round Cusco, stopping at the market for lunch and then visiting several churches



Here is the lady who cooked our lunch. We ate on trestles in front of her counter.

After lunch we wandered over to the Merced Church, which is a combination of church and ex-monastery. It had a most beautiful courtyard with flowers (dicentra I think) and arum lilies and shady corridors. Here I saw my first hummingbird, but it was far too quick to photograph.

Went to bed at 7.30 and slept through till 6.00am!
