Feeling the altitude

Feeling super tired and had a headache so took a little nap. Now I just have the headache so asked the people in the bar for the altitude sickness cure.

So now I´m sipping a mug full of coca leaves soaked in hot water. To me it tastes, well a little fishy.

As I said before I really am enjoying Cusco so far as it seems much more like the real south america (Pedro was right) when compared to Argentina and Chile whose big cities feel just like European cities on a different continent.

The people here are really friendly and the staff in the hostel seem really funny and laid back. I think the hostel is owned by some Irish people, so tonight they are celebrating St. Patricks day. I know, I know. I know! It sorta sounds hypocritical to say that after saying that the city seems more non-european. But the hostels are always non-local. But I think the city itself is more genuine.
