Sexy Woman

We had a few lazy days after Christmas. So on Saturday we decided we'd better go and visit the closest inca site to Cusco, Sachsayhuaman, pronounced Sexy woman! It's just at the edge of town, up a really steep hill. The ticket includes 3 other inca sites a bit further out of the city. So when a bloke at the ticket office said we could hire a couple of horses to go round and see the other 3 sites it seemed like a good idea. We were just dressed for a morning stroll around some ruins. I´ve never ridden in shorts and sandals with a handbag over my shoulder before. Here's Gav on his nag.

The ruins were nice, but ruin fatigue is starting to set in with me a bit. But it was nice to be able to get a few pics for a change. The Spanish dismantled most of Sexy Woman to build Cusco, but even the bit they left is very impressive, it must have been amazing.

The weather caught us out a bit, we went prepared with our rain ponchos in my bag, but the sun stayed out for longer then the usual Cusco 30 mins so we both got burned. Gav keeps doing an impression of Anne when she firt met me in France "Oh Becky you look like a bolisha beacon!"(first pic).
