Photos - Cusco
From Arequipa we took a best forgotten bus-ride to the beautiful city of Cusco and ancient capital to the Incas. The next two photos are of Cusco's main plaza, a lovely place to relax in the sun and watch the world go by.
The Galapagos Islands 02....
To transfer from the yacht to an island involves piling into one of the two little dinghies before heading for the shore. Here, Lynn awaits our arrival at Floreana Island on Day 3. Of course, pelicans also like to hitch a ride on the dinghies. They make excellent perches from which to look for fish! Floreana Island is home to reputedly the oldest Post Office in South America. In ancient days, passing ships would leave their messages in the barrel on the beach and then search through for any messages that they could deliver themselves. Nowadays tourists do the same thing. Stamps are not needed, you simply put your postcard in the barrel and hopefully someone picks it out and hand-delivers it for you to the address on the back. We found one with a New Zealand address on which we shall hand-deliver when we get there next month.
