mikes midlife round the world in 96 days

Flying into cusco i was amazed with the lushness of the green scenery and hillsides.Cusco is surrounded by hills which have many of its 300,00 population living on the slopes.
After engine trouble on the first plane,transfered to second plane and no luggage arriving i was relaxed to my amazement.
Hostal Loki is about 4 blocks from the plaza upwards and up some very steep steps.The altitude knocked my breath away completely(no thanks to taxi who dropped me of at bottom of avenue).This place is full of character,so original and beautiful.This is a true backpackers retreat with its own courtyard and hammocks.
I walked about till my luggage arrived later that day.This place is so beautiful and i can see why its so popular
The peruvians are unique in their own description,facially and colourful in thier clothes.
my roomate susannah invited me out for dinner with a few other but we ended up going ourselves and went to a dutch cinema cafe.Lets describe it as walking into someones livingroom,tv in corner,mum babysitting a 2 yr old and a few tables.We took a look at menu out of politeness and decided to leave.strange one.
Found another place ,then back to hostel for a few beers.Then a good sleep was had by me.
