Friday night lessons in making Pisco Sour and ceviche (a local dish of fish cured in lime juice in lieu of cooking – very nice). Luckily I beat Dianne in answering the test question and so scored the Pisco sour the waiter had made in our demonstration while she had to make do with one ( or two) from the bar. Alpaca for dinner – a very mild beef taste.
Up at 5 for our morning trip to Machu P. The site was designed by the Incas so that the first rays from the rising sun in winter/summer solstice would shine through windows of the key temples. We arrived in time for sunrise so were able to watch the different buildings being progressively lit by the sun.
Then a chance to explore the ruins including temples, residences and agricultural areas. Our local guide, Alex, is excellent. As you can see, we have been super lucky with the weather.
