We all went to bed on sunday at 8 oclock, were hoping for a lie in but all woke up at 6 and couldnt get back to sleep because of the time difference! We got up and walked around Cuzco to see what was about and then were taken to the spanish school. It is called fair play and all the teachers are single women who used to live in poverty but have been trained to teach english.
In the afternoon we went on a city tour which we thought would be about an hour on the bus, but we were gone for about 6 hours and visited the "golden cathedral" the cathedral in the main square, saqsaywaman (yes it sounds a lot like sexy woman) which are some inka sacrafice spots, and q´enco. a cave where the incas used to make mummies!
Its horrible cause it gets dark here at about 6, so we came home in the dark, but we went to the Real MÇcoy for dinner and a pub quiz! It was full of english and american people.
Started our spanish lessons this morning at 8! four hours in one go! 2 hours doing grammar, then we swap teachers and wonder round the streets for 2 hours doing more talking stuff. My grammar teacher speaks literally no english which is hard work, but good. and my other teacher took me to a little peruvian cafe where i tried my first traditional dish...im just hoping its going to stay down.
We´re going to meet jess in a bit to be shown round the first few placements!
Oh and my luggage safely arrived at the hostal yesterday, such a relief!
