For the first time on this vacation I sleep in until 7AM and enjoy a proper breakfast before setting out on a walking tour of Cusco.

After a few hours of walking I happen upon the main area where the locals shop, a tented open air market with rows and rows of tiny stalls organized by the type of merchandise for sale. I decided to buy alpaca wool sweaters and hats for the entire family. At half the price asked by the street vendors with no haggling over price I was happy to pay $7 per sweater and $1.50 per hat. Had my backpack not reached capacity I would have purchased twice the amount. With my gifts in hand I returned to the hostel, packed for my return and left for my flight from Cusco to Lima which arrived at about 2PM. With more than 9 hours until my departure for the US I left my main bag in a locker and hired a taxi to drive me around for a tour of the city. We visited the Miraflores and Barranco districts before heading downtown to the historic center where I left the taxi and completed the remainder of my tour on foot.
