My First Odyssey

This is going to be quite short entry and one that i should have done a while ago! After finishing my trek on the Sunday, i spent a week in Cusco and quite honestly didn´t do too much during that time. Let me just give you all a little overview of Cusco. It´s a city in the southeast of Peru. As with many of the big cities in Peru its a colonial city but was the Inca capital (its name means Belly button of the earth - or something along those lines). My hostel was two blocks away from the Plaza de Armas (central downtown area and very pretty!) There is quite a bit to see and do in Cusco, but i´ve left a few things as i´m hoping to go back sometime this trip. The city in the day is full of tourists (which sucks a bit) and children trying to sell you postcards. At night Cusco is a true party town and my hostel was no exception. As a said, didn´t do too much but met loads of really lovely people in the hostel and had a relaxing time, which is what i needed after the trek. I won´t babble on anymore about Cusco as i know that if i don´t stop now i probably won´t, but i would recommend Cusco to anyone who comes to Peru as it ROCKS!
