Another great day out to hike around Incan ruins in Pisac, which is a town in the "Sacred Valley" close to Cusco.
Even though I actually did not want to buy anything in the beginning of my trip I could not resist to buy a colorful scarf and a little handbag. I justified my first purchase with the cold temperatures here at night, but could not find any excuses for my second purchase apart from the fact that a woman can never have enough handbags! ;-)
On my last day together with Camilla and Soren we went to a place on a hill close to Cusco that it impossible to pronounce: Saqsaywaman. Therefore everyone says "sexy woman"... It is a walled complex near the old city of Cusco. Even though it is supposed to be very impressive, we decided that we had seen enough ruins and rather enjoyed the amazing view over Cusco and watched the locals flying their kites.
Finally, here is one for my friends in Munich :-) Thanks again for the lovely shirt! It reminds me of my Munich "Heimat" - even as there is a Maracuja Sour and not an Aperol Sour in my hand... :-)

Sun, Incan Ruins and Guinea Pig
Sorry! Long time no update, but I did not have a chance to spend time in front of a computer. The lovely couple from Denmark (Camilla and Soren) kept me busy with great hikes around Cusco and afterwards I was in the jungle for 8 days and only came back to Cusco today.
Ok, lets go back to 19th August...
Camilla, Soren and I went to a day trip to amazing Incan ruins in Tipon. I was highly impressed by the water system they had in place at that time. But see for yourself...
Some signs were a bit confusing though ;-)
Nevertheless, the real highlight of the trip was our dinner afterwards: Cuy al horno (roasted guinea pig). Even though this is already the second time I had it (first time in Ecuador some years ago - Patty you might remember :-) I do not think I can ever get hooked on it. Firstly it is weird to have a whole little pig on your plate, secondly the taste is only ok-ish (according to my taste buds at least) and lastly there is not really much meat on it.
Here is a little photo story of a cute little guinea pig called "Freddy" (sorry, no happy end though...).
Yammy... ;-)
