We have made it to Cusco! And with only a little change in the plans.
Originally we were going to be flying this AM straight from Cochabamba to Cusco but Aero Sur, being the trustworthy airline that they are, made a change in our plans. Instead we left last night and stayed in La Paz, but it definitely could have been worse. Since Aero Sur changed our plans, they accomodated us with a 5 star hotel..aka the Radisson, cab fare to and from the hotel and a delicious dinner and breakfast. Needless to say, their mess up was a blessing for us. Plus Bolivian Independence Day is coming up and there were lots of people out practicing their dances for the parades.
Another bonus was that we actually got to see a little of La Paz, last year we drove around the outskirts on our way to Puno, Peru. La Paz is breath-takingly beautiful at night, it looks kind of like a big bowl and with all of the lights at night, its just great.
We were off this morning at the early time of 6:30 and back to the airport for a quick flight over to Cusco. We did a city tour today...which really meant we went out of the city and saw lots of the different archeological ruins. Very interesting but we did get a little tired.
Tonight is going to be a very early night for us because tomorrow morning we leave for Machu Piccu, and when I say early I actually mean early. We have to leave our hotel at 4:30 in the morning, yep that is right, 4:30. We have to catch a train at a certain time that will take us to another train, that will take us to a bus, that will take us up to the top of a mountain where Machu Piccu is. But let me tell you it will definitely be worth it.
As always, prayers are always welcome!
