Yes, that’s 11,150 feet in the old language and boy, you sure knew when you stepped off the plane. Like Tibet, that same lightheaded feeling. Naturally you have to take it easy in the beginning so we did just a little walk around. Just a photo of the Cathedral Tower right beside our hotel on the first night.
Yesterday we were taken on our City Tour and this place just amazes you. Can you imagine that the Incas built these walls in what they think was 1450.
Then of course in 1550 along came the Spanish and they knocked a lot down to build their Cathedrals etc.
One of the noticeable things is that they are not destroying the old buildings and replacing with modern structures and there is a lot of the old Inca walls still standing.
It is such a colourful city, and seems to have a very casual way of life. Everywhere you look there is someone sitting chatting.
And of course, how could you pass by these children without a photo
Well, tomorrow we leave here to go to the Sacred Valley and then after a night there we travel to Machu Picchu so will talk again from there.
