Day 40 - Cusco, Peru (27 April 2012)

Day 40 – Cusco, Peru (27 April 2012)

I have a good sleep in this morning, it is great to be in a proper bed (well it seems like a proper bed in comparison to what we have been sleeping on).  I miss breakfast at the hostel but that doesn’t matter as it costs anyway.  When I wake up we unpack our SAS bags to have them ready to return (well actually, first thing I did was shower) and also take some smelly clothes to the laundry to be washed.  We are out and about mid morning and the first thing we do is drop our bags off at SAS.  We then go out for lunch which is an extended edition today as it is a rest day.  After lunch we have a look around town in the hunt for some postcards and souvenirs.  We then have a quick look in the Choco Museum.  Very nice chocolate, we purchased a block of Oreo flavoured chocolate here, magnificent!!! While we are in there we see our Aussie friend Lewis who was on the 4x4 tour.  He is doing the chocolate workshop and convinces us to book in for the next day.    We talk to Lewis and his friend Michelle for over an hour (in the meantime they were waiting for their chocolate to set, Michelle kindly gives us some of hers and it is delicious).  Lewis then has to go as he starts the Inca Trail the next day.  We leave as we have to pick up our clean clothes from the laundry.  We then go out for dinner at a place called Jack’s.  I had a steak sandwich and Ann has nachos.  Back to the hostel after dinner, it has definitely been a relaxing day which was needed.
