This evening we met our guide and the group we are going on tour with. We are the oldest - well John is! My age was listed as 50 - so I changed it - that is still 34 days away.
The past two days have been in Peru - in Cusco. It´s an amazingly preserved old city - it does have lots of modern things but many of the buildings have been maintained - some walls since Inca times.
The major festival for the year has been happening last night and today - a celebration of the sun God (Inti Raymi) and the winter solstice. There are thousands of people here - foreigners and Peruvians.
We had an amazing breakfast at Jack´s this morning - run by an Australian who has lived here 10 years - she is originally from Qld but has been to Wagga! Then we joined thousands of others and walked up a big hill - 2 km - to watch some of the festivities.
Tonight I ate alpaca and John had Peruvian duck.
We´re off on a big adventure tomorrow and looking forward to it.
