Out of the Jungle into the Mountains

The Nasca lines were brilliant if you could get your eye in to see them.

Anyway, we have been to the jungle. What were you doing at 8:15pm Saturday night? Watching the footy, having a nice glass of wine with dinner, perhaps? Well the equivalent time of 5:15am Saturday morning, I was slogging my way through the the mud, heat and humidity Amazon Jungle to go to a lake to see Giant River Otters. And yes we did see them, plus we went fishing for Piranhas! I caught 4, best in the boat. They sure do have sharp teeth. We also saw different types of monkeys, birds and a few animals. We had a great time.

Then we flew from the heat to Cuzco ..... highest elevation we have been to. It is an old Inca town, with the Spanish houses built on the ruins of the Inca city. They are currently celebrating the winter solstice, so the Inca ways still exist.

Today we went to the Sun Temple of the Incas and the Pisca markets. Tomorrow is Machu Pichu. Sorry no pictures today.
