Eating our way to Cusco

We had good intentions of climbing a 6000m volcano.....but our stomachs got the better of us. We arrived in Arequipa after doing our most touristy thing to date: visiting the Lake Titicaca floating reed islands. Peruvians call it a Japanese tour as all people do is take photos (and photos of people taking photos: madness). So after Glen ate Alpacca in Puno, we headed to Perus eating capital of Arequipa. We looked into the colca canyon and El Misti Volcano expeditions but we were quite ratshit from 3 weeks on the move and dodgy Bolivian food. We indulged in Mexican, Turkish, Chinese, Wood fired Pizza etc but the highlight was definitly the Crepes at ZigZag. Raspberries and icecream, caramel custard and chocolate, lemon butter and sugar...shall I go on? We also had a big night out with our salt plains crew and sampled the Pisco and Long Island Ice Tea. I don´t know if Pisco burns the oesophagus on the way down as I experienced my first ever bout of indigestion the day after. Glen tells me it burns on the way up though! We basically relaxed and ate for 3 days which was a much needed rest. We've just arrived in Cusco via an overnight bus and are know going to trawl the plaza for some good amazon and machu pichu deals. Wish us luck.
