We returned to Cuzco and allowed ourselves a lazy day to recover from all the walking! We caught up with Milly and went for dinner in Jacks Cafe Bar which was full of tourists - the food was great!
The following day, Kate, Nicolas and I went white water rafting! We were driven to a river about an hour away, got into our wetsuits, given a brief lesson and got into the water. We were on a class 3+ river, which has medium sized rapids. We had a great time (and spent about 2 hours in the river). One of the guys in our raft fell out so I had to jump into the front of th raft, which was rather tricky considering that we were still moving! I also got the chance to steer the raft through a class 2 rapid, but ended up almost crashing with a rock! Couldn't think of the commands quick enough!!
The next day we wandered through a local market, which was ok until we got to the meat section - they sell almost everything including a cow's mouth, complete with teeth! Wasn't the most pleasant place I've walked through. We then headed to the cathedral and had a guided tour. There they have the Peruvian version of the Last Supper - complete with guinea pig rather than bread!!
That night we caught up with the rest of the group (most of them had gone to the jungle) and ended up in the Cross Keys pub after dinner for some drinks!
