Had a meeting with the guides for our Inca trail, quite excited for tomorrow.
Spent a large portion of the day at an emergency clinic as one person got quite unwell. The room she was in is a converted hotel room, good service overall. Diagnosed with Salmonella infection and treated quite effectively, looked so much better by the evening.
Went to an Indian restaurant for lunch, good food but a grumpy owner. She scolded us for mixing up our food and would not let a person use a fresh plate for a second round at the buffet. I am not sure if she was keen for customers.
The rest of the day was at the Plaza de Armas and the surrounding Plazas. There are so many churches and cathedrals here, every few steps there seems to be one looming ahead. Had an interesting wander around the local market. Loads of handicrafts to chose from,bought celebratory t shirts for the trail, maybe a little premature. There is so much on display that I have never seen, red, purple,white, orange corn, pure white (powdery on the outside) potatoes, lots of cheese in the open, frogs- alive and dead, fish eggs, tracheas of animals as well as snouts, and bread in the shape of Alpacas.
While we waited to meet up with some people from our old tour group we got chatting to a 11 year old boy. Goes to school on weekdays and polishes shoes on weekends. He was a cutie.
Packed and ready for our four day trek.
