Hallo everybody. Now its time for an update of our time in Cuzco and the trek we did. Everything was postponed a few days because Maria was sick (later we found out that it was salmonella). We lived in a neighbourhood called San Blas in a hostel with a belgian owner named Raf. We spend a few days seeing the major sites in and around the city. We wanted to do a 9 day trek to Choquekiraw and Machu Picchu and Raf wanted to come with us, so we looked around for ...

We found a spanish school and a family to live with. The mother, Jenny, was very nice and taught us a good deal of spanish (at least we think). We saw most of the things to see in Arequipa- including a museum where they keep a frozen mummy. She was sacrificed by the Inkas only 11 years old, She was burried on the top of a mountain where the low temperature had preservated her untill some archeologists found her.Now she´s in a glass freezer on display...strange....

We left Lima- took a bustour that lasted 15 hours...but it was okay. We are staying at a nice hostel ( see picture), with a view of the snowcapped volcano El Misti, we can even see it from our room. We hope to find a language school tomorrow and we will probably stay in Arequipa for the next 7 days. So far we have had great food in Peru, its spicy and its very cheap. For lunch we had a soup and a main dish for 3 soles (5 kr...!). Hasta luego
