Buen Comida!


Mate de coca... these same leaves were the secret ingredient in coca cola and also cocaine!

Purple corn.. makes interesting drinks and puddings.


We have eaten some great food and looked at some very interesting food too!



ceveiche -A traditional dish, fish soaked in lemon/lime juice





after a days walk down 1500m who would expect this for breakfast...



.... certainly helped us wiuth the 1500m uphill!






and beautiful drinks with magnificent view over the main square in Cuzco.









Keke - Keke -Keke- Deb is in heaven, at every turn there are more cakes...



They taste great although some of the look like they are made with plastic icing!






Ordering alpacha steak was difficult with a photo of an alpaha watching over us but..



it tasted great!






Cuy (cooee) a cute little guinea pig.. makes delicious soup. They make little homes for them in their kitchens so at least we know they are fresh. Deb looked keen to try when they gave us the complimentary bowl in a local restaurant but then... none of actually tried it!

The fish looks ok but what's that sitting on the top. Doesn't look too appetizing to me. Hav4e you eaten Llama yet ???
I've seen the islands on the tele and not too sure whether I would like to live there.

I'm disappointed that you didn't try the cuy - very tasty - especially grilled!
PS I forgot my password then had trouble signing in again because they said I already existed! By now you're probably just about on your way home!
