Picking up where I left off, Simon and I had a nice rest in our hostel before going out to get a bite to eat. We had some cheap food at the San Pedro market then went to a lavandaria to get our dirty clothes washed. We returned to the hostel to chill and meet people. A good majority of the travelers here are Irish, the Wild Rover being a sort of Irish pub/hostel. We also met many others from around the world: Portugal, Brazil, France, England, Germany, Israel, and others. We went out to the clubs again, and also reconnected with our newly acquainted Columbian friends.
It was a fun night but our hermana Rebecca was flying into Cusco at 7 AM this morning, and we stayed up far to late to meet this deadline. I awoke at 7:30 AM, having missed my alarm as well as several calls from Rebecca. Luckily, I was able to get through to her and gave her the name and address of the hostel we were staying at. I went outside and met her about 30 minutes later as she was getting dropped off by her cab. She was a bit angry, but I made up for it by treating her to a gourmet breakfast. We walked around the town a bit and then returned to the hostel to rest some more.
We reawakened at 1 PM, and went out for falafels. After filling our stomachs, we got a cab to the 7a climbing school. We arrived at a large stadium by cab, and entered to find a neat bouldering wall in the basement. We climbed around for a bit and talked to the Argentinean woman who was running the desk about local climbing spots. After about an hour, we felt completely exhausted, probably due to the altitude and the fact that none of us had done very much climbing recently. We chilled for a bit and then went back to the Wild Rover to get some dinner and relax a bit more before we go out tonight and show Becks around town. So psyched to our main amiga here!
We plan on staying here in Cusco for a day or two until we head to Ollantaytambo for some real big wall climbing. Also, Rebecca brought her GoPro and another camera so we will have many new photos and videos coming soon!
Good night from Cusco, Peru, and until next time, Chao!
