3300 m above sea level

I´m in Cuzco now, the original capital of Peru. We were up early for the one hour flight to get here. Today is simply a day to acclimatize to the altitude. I thought I might get a headache as I had at Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia, but I seem to be fine. As long as I drink enough water.

Such an interesting city! I´m going to go out to take more photos now. Our whole group gets together tonight and then we´re off to Machu Picchu tomorrow!
