Cusco...Peru

...great colonial city but very few reminders of Inca presence as everything was looted and destroyed by the Spainards...
...boots being cleaned after the Machu Picchu trek...all bodily pains have disappered after some lovely TLC from the Mrs...
...Main Square...Spainards did some real damage all over South America,they shamelessly looted all the gold,silver and anything valubles and they destroyed all the local civilisations and all the indigenous people with it...raped and murdered...funny thing is in Spain their brutal behaviour abroad is not taught or written anywhere and so today's Spaniards has no knowledge of how their countrymen behaved while colonising South America...
...beautiful city Cusco...it was the Capital of Inca Empire...all the great buildings of Inca time were brought down by the Spainards and on it they built their churches and other government buildings...
...lovely balconies overlooking the square...great place to have few beers as one does!..
