" Today is at leisure allowing you to spend time wandering the cobble-stoned streets of the ancient Inca capital. With
treasures around every corner, Cusco is a wonderful city to explore on foot. Vibrant markets and stores give the
traveller a plethora of shopping opportunities set amongst fine Inca and Spanish colonial architecture. The UNESCO World
Heritage city is lined with history and ancient monuments, a truly enthralling city to spend time in."
Last night we decided to have an oxygen therapy session, 45 minutes in a hyperbaric tent. I followed mine with the best massage I've ever had.
Mark took his camera in with him.
Today we have both woken up feeling better than yesterday morning. We slept a bit more than the past 4 or 5 nights. Neither of us appeared to be in need of deep breathing continuously during the night. We are still a little short of breath upon exercising but not as bad so far.
We will be taking it very easy today and hope to take a 12 min walk (according to google)* into the town square where we can sit for awhile before hopefully checking out a couple of museums. We have pre paid tickets left for a few things around town. If things get too much we will just grab a taxi back.
*it took us 25 minutes to waddle there.
Basilica of the Cathedral.
The town square.
Church of the company of Jesus.
Convent of mercy.
Lots of free roaming dogs in town as we headed to the Museum of Contemporary Art.
I couldn't resist this one even though my swannies lost last night.

This is exactly how my head felt about 2 mins after landing in Cusco. The pressure was incredible. It really felt like I was wearing a rock helmet.
After all that art work we moved in to the weaving room. Omgoodness the works were incredible. Very talented people.
Next we went to a History Museum.
Found in an archaeological dig in an Inca terrace.
Sat outside for a rest and noticed how wonky things look.
Saint Isabel of Hungary. Baroque style, XV111.
L-R. Saint Sebastian, Roman martyr. Pope Saint Gregory the great. The Apostle Saint James, the Elder.
Gotta love Google translation.
After 2 Museums and an empanada we were ready to slowly wander home.
The photo doesn't show how steep this hill was but we managed it with a few rest stops.
After a rest we were both feeling pretty good so I think our money was well spent on the oxygen therapy.
Osso Bucco and Lamb Shank for dinner as we actually had an appetite.
The weather has been rainy on and off all day but still it was lovely to be back out exploring.
