Sacred Valley of the Inca

First day full day of touring with the group. Comfortable bed, hot shower, nice breakfast, clean clothes and three staff preparing and organising your day - hey why am I on a bike roughing it?

Coach to the Sacred Valley of the Inca to see the sights.

Saw a guy on a BMW R1200GS with a huge Koala bear strapped to the windscreen. He overtook the bus and we never saw him again. Pity because I really wanted to speak with him. By the look of the bike and his personbal appearance he was doing it a lot rougher than I have been.

Had a good look around the villages and tourist sites.

Checked out Pisac and Ollantaytambo while following the river valley. We all would have liked more time to explore but the tour guide has a lot to cover.

The village of Tarabamba at the base of the Inca citadel of Pisac.

This fortress was never completed. Lots of evidence how they went about cutting and transporting the huge rocks.

Tarabama market place was hectic and caters for tourists.

Visit Peru and not eat a pet - yeah why not. Love to have the wood fired oven in my backyard.

Fluffy on a plate - yum.
