Getting High In Cusco
We flew into Cusco yesterday afternoon. Had a cup of Coco leave tea and were promptly told to go and lay down and not to walk around for 2 hours. The lady incharge of the Hostel was absolutely lovely, but as we don´t speak Spanish and she doesn´t speak English it was a lot of laughs working that out. We thought we were fine, until we got up from our ¨rest¨ and our heads spun. But were not doing too badly. We´re relieved that we decided sometime ago not to do the trek, although it would have been fantastic, but it´s so hard to breath even when you´re just lying down.
But as we´re feeling slightly better today, we´re going to take ourselves off into town and check out the local markets - should be fun. Hopefully the rain will hold out, but I´somehow doubt it.

Be careful about the local "tea" as the coca leaf is used for other "exports" as well. Be sure to take lots of pictures! I've got my pics uploaded, and I want to be sure that we share all of our pics from BA and Rio. My tan is fading already! I could have spent a month in Rio really easily. Maybe I will...

My small "position" in euros has been performing well for me. I was going to change them at the airport but decided to hold them for a while. Good on me. I hope you are still having fun.

Tan is fading, but the memories are Strong! Glad the euro is working for you.
Usage of the Coca leaf was for medicinal purposes only - promise :-)
