Cusco, Peru

Hi again,

We just had a very interesting day and thought to share it with you. We went to send a parcel back home because of lack og space in our bags. The post office felt like something out of an old movie and we had to put our finger prints on the customs declaration forms (5 or 6 times). Having seen border patrol and other documentaries wherr people have been framed, we may have gotten a little paranoid and ensured to document all items in the box. 

On out way back to the hotel we found the street full of people and locals parading and dancing.  We asked our guide at the hotel what they where celebratig and it turns out that they do this often and that she didn't know. Yhe receptionist explained that they where celebrating the anniversary of a market. 

At noon we went to a place where they produce 200 tonns of salt per year. It consists of 3000 small salt ponds, each privately owned by local families.  It was very impressive to see and their salty chocolates was very tasty.  

After the 3 hours excursions to the salt ponds of Salinidas de Maras, Beau and I decided it was time for a girls night so we booked in a massage.  The massage company picked us up from the hotel and dropped us back after the one hour Inca massage (1 hour). It was very comfortable and I could feel how    sore my legs was. After words Beau and I had dinner at a pizzeria (although we had pasta), while luke met up with an old work mate for drinks.  

Write soon, xo
