Today I revised my Spanish verbs as I still have a bit of trouble with some of the past tense verbs. I then watched a bit of telly. I booked myself into the hostel I was in before my dad arrived. It's lively and I'll meet people. Also I'll try and study in the morning in the courtyard so there's no problems at night when I can sit in the bar with my fellow travellers playing s***head against the magnificent backdrop of the Cusco all lit-up! I then had a grea...

I hailed us a taxi and we went to the black market (Mercado Molino). We arrived at the market and were dazzled by the morning sunshine reflecting off the metal advertising boards. We walked into the labyrinth-like market and bought some CDs, DVDs, clothes and other stuff. We got a taxi back to the centre a...
