We arrived on Sunday on the Inti Raymi festival of the sun when all the touristas come to see it and we walked/ran with the crowd up to the hills where the Inca walls of Sacsayhuaman are and where the parade of the festical went to.
This actually was fun, since we were really not too many gringos, but many many locals who cant afford the redicolus prices of watching the festical closely.
During the show (which was indeed far away and hard to see) the mob decided to ignore the policemen (which had clubs!) and ignore the marked area and just march closer and closer to the event. That was very exciting and funny. They just walked past the policemen! Which just stood there and tryied stopping and wacing their clubs but no use... the mob was stronger!
Came back to have Almuerzos in a local resturant where they completely changed our order... well i guess we need to learn more spanish fast!
Cam back to the hostel and tried taking a nap to the sounds of the nearby fiesta... Then went to meet Angela and Fritz (whom we met on board the Galapagos ship)! You can read their cool blog here http://travelrats.blogspot.com/.
We dont like Cuzco. Or maybe it doesnt like us...
