Back in Cusco for two nights before we head off to Bolivia!
The first night was mostly spent getting settled in to Pariwana and then a late night adventure trying to find decent food.
The next day we caught up on life debt stuff: doing laundry, uploading all of the photos to the blog, and eating tasty noms.
The day we left we sent almost 6kgs of stuff back home for a whopping $80, zoinks! We bought bus tickets on Cruz del Sur to Puno on the overnight bus that should arrive at about 4:30am.

Back in Cusco
What a day! We got back to Cusco and picked up our bags from Loki so that we could move to Pariwana Hostel. We said bye to our guide and our tour officially came to an end!

Typical Cusco Alleyway
Cronuts!
Croissant + donut = cronut! We found them at a bakery called Delimonasterio across from Marcelo Batata. Pretty delish.

Really good food. Had Crema de Tres Frutos Rojos, Ensalada Primavera, Alpaca Brichera Mediterranea, and Trucha Dos Imperios.
