On arrival in Pisaq we took a road to high above the town where we started our trek. The terracing as shown in the photos was amazing. The buildings shown were mainly ceremonial and for use by the nobility.
Our leader Zak has a sister who has a restaurant in Pisac which is where we stopped for a lovely lunch of pumpkin soup, vegetarian lasagne and carrot cake. A good reward for a tough morning.
After lunch we carried on to Cusco and had a quick tour of the market which was very busy. It was pretty well all women on the stalls and it appeared that they took their young children to work with them. There were lots of tiny tots of maybe 2 or 3 playing happily, racing up and down the aisles. What a contrast to the UK where we wouldn't let the children out of our sight.
This evening we had to look after ourselves as this was the first night that dinner wasn't included. We ventured out and had pizza in a lovely restaurant which was very busy. Thank goodness Zak our guide had made a reservation for us.
Goodnight all.
