A walk around the neighborhood before an early night.

We were faced with a dilemma for tomorrow's travel. We could maintain our altitude and fly directly to Cusco and then go down to the sacred Valley.  Or we could try to stop off and Lima for a night possibly losing our altitude acclimation and then head to Cusco. We opted for the former which gave us another dilemma. Leave at a reasonable time but then get to the sacred valley at night and miss out on that experience.  Or leave it an unreasonable hour, get to Cusco by noon and still enjoy some time down in the sacred Valley. I guess you know which one we chose. We have set our alarm for 2:30 a.m.! But before that happens here some pictures from the neighborhood and a special shout-out to Lizeth the concierge at the club level. Her easy smile and assistance made our days much easier.
Nice to get some walkies in before we have to go to bed early
