Cusco

I realy liked Cusco. The centre is clean and modern without ruining the historical feal of Cusco. A colonial town but with so much pre spanish history to see and explore aswell. The centre is well equipped for tourists and Paddy´s Bar, claiming to be the highest Irish pub in the world was frequented often by us. After all the trekking, camping and many miles we had travelled it was nice to taste English food and hang out with Gringo´s. The food was excellent aswell!
On the night after Machu Picchu a few of us went clubbing to Mythology. I woop wooped on the bar amongst drinks being served. I was surprised to find this was encouraged and Tom (also on the Dragoman truck) was a great dancing partner!

I researched places to volunteer in Cusco over Christmas but could not find anything suitable although there are some nice opportunities, in particular helping out in orphanages. Near to Cusco there is an organisation which works with the rural villages and in particular helping the elderly who are sometimes abandoned by families due to poverty.
I therefore decided to stay with the Dragoman tour for Christmas in Bolivia!
