We had breakfast at the hotel which was a lovely buffet spread.
I had a bowl of mouthwatering fresh watermelon (delivered straight from the kitchen, not risking the buffet since they also had pineapples) and this yummy beetroot, cucumber and watermelon juice along with my main breakfast.
At breakfast, I was slightly annoyed by this guy at the table across from ours who seemed to be on a video call with no headphones/ear pods. When I mentioned it to Ny, who had gone to breakfast ahead of my sleepy self, she said he'd been like that since before she sat down. Fast forward to after breakfast when we saw his friend sitting outside - I commented on his Thai tattoos, then we asked if he was a travel blogger or something as we noticed the other guy was on Instagram live the entire time we were at breakfast- turns out they are. Tatted guy is named Brodie and no ear pod guy is a friend he made who took Brodie's course on being a digital nomad. You can follow him here if you're interested Brodie's Insta - not the live at breakfast guy but his friend
After breakfast we wandered off in search for the San Pedro Central Market (Mercado Central de San Pedro) to take a peek at options outside of what we've seen in the City Centre. Turns out that just beyond the Plaza San Fransisco archway (pictured below) was the kind of market I was looking for. There's a bigger one in Sacred Valley but that's a bit of a drive away.
I would call it a successful market day - grabbed a few odds and ends. My most important purchase was a stuffed alpaca that I wanted for photos. There we so many options but I finally found the perfect little guy - blog post coming about how I chose his name!
After the market, we head back towards the Plaza de Armas and found a nice looking steakhouse for a late lunch.
All in all, a good day in Cusco and an early night as we prepare for our full day adventure to Machu Picchu!
