Cusco - NO GRACIAS!!

After our long trek in Machu Picchu it was nice to make it back to the city; to the comfort of a hotel room and a hot shower :o) But with the luxury of being in a big city comes the knowledge for locals that the Gringos (tourists) are around!! So from the second you walk out of the hotel door the offers begin and the words ‘No Gracias’ become your friend for the day!!

- Massage - No Gracias
- Magical Musical Instruments, special price - No Gracias!
- Massage - No Gracias!!
- Picture with a Llama - No Gracias!!!
- Massage - No Gracias!!!!
- Manicure, Pedicure - No Gracias!!!!!
- Massage - NO GRACIAS!!!!!!

The local Irish bar - Paddy’s even had their t-shirt for sale with their logo on the back and NO GRACIAS on the front!!!


So when we weren’t being mobbed by locals we managed to celebrate completing the Inca trail, visit a few museums and eat some really nice food…if you’re ever in Cusco your first stop for food has to be Jacks Café. It’s a small café run by Irish/English owners. The food is really good and the strawberry milkshake is divine!! It was really nice to get a taste of home food having been away for 2 months and trekked for 4 days to Machu Picchu :o)
