Made it to Cusco with no problems and found ourselves a hostel before hitting McDonalds for breakfast! Guilty.

The town is very pretty, with a main square and very colonial buildings. We organised ourselves for the next couple of days and had quite a lazy day.

The next day me, hollaye, alex and kyle went to the sacred valley to look at the ruins there which were very impressive. Basically all the big ruins look like Macchu Pichu, so imagine something like that! The tour was good but the tour guide was a bit of a tourism nazi, keeping a very strict time schedule.

The next day I started at the orphanage, while the others went rafting. sob!

The orphanage is very relaxed but chaotic with all the people. The children go to school until 1 and then have bible study and lunch until 3 which is when the volunteers help. So we are only actually useful for about 3 hours a day. Up to us what we do really. Most days the boys play football at the park, however if the volunteers bring thread or beads, etc they all enjoy making bracelets, the boys more than the girls! We arent really needed at the weekend but tomorrow we are paying for them all to come to a football match with us. Cusco versus someone or other!

That is all for now as I am off on a city tour. xx
