Croatia, 3rd October, Split fruit and vegetable market

After looking round the fish market and all of it's variety, we walked outside to the very large fruit and vegetable market. Here we went to the massive extravagance of buying some walnuts which we used for our lunchtime dessert. The colour and bustle of the market were wonderful.

Here in Peru

Flight over the Andes from Lima to Cusco Well I arrived in Peru on Wednesday after travelling for nearly 24 hours. Mairi met me at the airport and we got a bus down to the hostel. In spite of altitude we had a good walk round Cusco, stopping at the market for lunch and then visiting several churches Here is the lady who cooked our lunch. We ate on trestles in front of her counter.  Child near our hostel After lunch we wandered over to the Merced Church, which is a combination of church and ex-monastery. It had a most beautiful courtyard with flowers (dicentra I think) and arum lilies and shady corridors. Here I saw my first hummingbird, but it was far too quick to photograph. Courtyard at the Merced  Went to bed at 7.30 and slept through till 6.00am!
