After breakfast we walked to Urubamba, had a look round the main square, saw someone we know up to some extra marital snogging and went to a strange church.
We called in at Seminario Ceramics on the way back so that Salvador could see the tame Macaws they have there. We managed to escape with only one purchase too, which is not bad going - not a macaw, a coat rack.
By this time I was starting to feel decidedly rough and took to my bed for the afternoon.
A pounding headache and hot flushes were not what I had come away for.
I felt a bit better by the evening and we watched 'Remains of the Day' which was excellent, although by the time it finished there was very little remaining of the day.
On our first night, a full moon had frustrated our hopes of seeing the stars and on the second I went out and managed to see a few but was so affected by 75 Japanese tourists doing the conga round the restaurant that I scuttled back to our room.
I was still feeling rough the next morning and was more than ready to return to Cusco by the time Jesus turned up.
Knowing that we have seen the Sacred Valley hundreds of times he brought us back via some dirt roads and beautiful views that reminded me of my first trip to Peru.
I went to bed as soon as we got back and woke up yesterday with a stinking headache and unable to move my neck.
The rest of the day was spent trying hard not to move and today Valerio went out early to get some gunge to try to ease the pain a bit.
We went down to the cafe where I was told I was moving like a robot and then went to the black market to try to find a film that Esther wants to see.
We are thinking of going to Lima earlier than we intended, we were supposed to be leaving on 6th March but I think that it's better to go now, rather than when trade will probably start picking up.
Next weekend seems to make more sense but first of all we have to get Esther a new National Identity Card which has taken us by surprise and run out, at least when the British ones are introduced they will be so good that the biometric eye design will wink repeatedly at you when it's coming up for renewal.
When we are in Lima we must get Esther a new passport too, as that has run out as well - at the moment she doesn't officially exist.
Given that I have to renew my residence as well, we are going to have a fun time in hot government offices trying to avoid paying bribes to extras from spaghetti westerns.
