- Cusco, Peru
Itinerary
Today was my free day. I was all prepared to tour around the city and visit some museums. I got up at 07:30 and went for breakfast. Again I made a few sandwiches for lunch. I went out and found one museum. It had a lot of religious paintings in it. It is truly amazing how these paintings have lasted the test of time as most of them are outside with little or no protection from the elements. I then walked around and visited a few shops. Cusco is full of shops. Most places sell the same stuff but you can find a few stores that have unique items. I then went to an Inca Museum and looked at the different potty. They sure were amazing people. It is really to bad the Spaniards took everything they had and destroyed a lot of their culture. I was walking through the main plaza when I suddenly didn't feel right. I found a public washroom but it was so disgusting I had to leave. I started back to my hotel. I got disoriented and thought I was lost but eventually made it back and just in time. My stomach was just killing me and I had bad diarrhea again. I got back to my room and felt really bad. So I took some medication and went to sleep. I got the chills and thought I'd never warm up. I slept for a good five hours and have seemed to shake whatever it was. I'm going to bed early tonight. Tomorrow should be a full exciting day. |
