Today we moved from Lima to Cusco. It was a non-event until right before the flight, Brad looks at the reservation and mentions that it´s for Oct. 1. Silence. He waves the paper and once again tells us, I think our reservations were for Oct. 1. We look and mumble at him and pretend this tidbit of infomration just didn´t happen. After all, what could be done about it? We arrive 60 minutes later to Cusco and sure enough, our reservations were for 6 weeks ago. No rooms at that hotel. The hotel rep calls and repeats Oct. 1 over and over, then repeats our name. No, there is no mercy for computer resets of dates.

Luckily, the hotel rep from another hotel that wasn´t sold out was listening to our plight. We ended up in a budget hotel (really budget) but at least we had rooms. Throw in a free taxi ride and our own personal travel agent and it seems like it will work out okay. Time will tell. My windows don´t close and there are no amenities. Ás long as it´s bug free, reasonably warm, and has hot water, I´ll be fine. At any rate, it´s better than sleeping at the airport.

We braved the 12,000 ft altitude and went to Cusco´s big cathedral which was impressive. Made out of stolen Inca gold, the cathedral was one ornate room after another. Tomorrow, Machu Picchu!
