Disaster

After a great day yesterday, we had a wee bit of bad luck today, Tina twisted her ankle and hit the deck on some cobbles, thankfully her backpack broke here fall, but her ankle is now twice the size of here other one. I turned around and a load of French people were helping her up off the ground.

We were looking to get a collectivo again back to Cusco but the ones that were there were the local ones that had twice as many people crammed into the back of them! No thanks, after Tinas fall we grabbed a coffee and I went in search of a Taxi, after some hand gesture haggling I got us a trip to Cusco for 50 soles..about 11 euro, not bad for an hour and a half taxi ride!

We decided enough was enough and stayed in Cusco as Tina could barely walk, we got a room in the same spot. Unfortunately the only place that had tickets for Puno was twice the price of the Good bus, so we are going to spend an extra night here and get the bus on Wednesday. I managed to find an elastic support for Tinas ankle and coupled with some tiger balm it should be good in a few days
