Party time back in Cusco


After knocking back some lunch in Aguas Calientes we took the slowest train in the world to Urubamba, then a bus back to Cusco. That was a bit hairy, it started pissing with rain and the bus felt like it might go over a edge a few times. We got back in Cusco @ 8.30pm, and decided to celebrate the end of the trip together with a bite to eat and a few drinks. We met 1 hour later, but first it was great to put some water and shampoo through the hair after 4 days without a wash.
I took the crew to my local, 2 Nations, where we got stuck into some great food, and a a few pisco sours. After that we decided to move to this little bar down the road, which wasn't much, but we had a great time in there, playing stupid drinking games. We got this crazy alcohol there which is made of 24 herbs, and it has a crazy taste as well. I wouldn't start the night on it, that's for sure, but for 10 soles for a jug you can't really complain.
That bar had the worst toilet I have ever seen, it was disguising, some one had thrown up in the corner, the toilet looked like it was falling apart, and the ground was all wet and sticky.
After that we ventured to Mamma Africa to finish off the night with a bit of stomping. It was a cool place, had decent music, and it was amazing that we could stay up to 4am after getting up at the same time the day before...not to mention all the walking.....
