I went to the terrapuerta (busterminal) to find out that the road to Puno is blocked and cannot be used for the moment. There are strikes in Cusco ... so no bus to there ... flights are fully-booked to those cities ... so I am blocked in Arequipa ... we shall see tomorrow ...
Today I visited the Museo Sanctuarios Andines where the finds are displayed of the sacred inca sacrifies on the high mointains ... They found a girl Juanita on the frozen hilltops near the big volcanos and another 2 graves lower on the same mountain. Superb display with all the findings of those three ceremonial graves and yes also the body of Juanita (no mummification was done on here) in a double layered box frozen to minus 20degrees for conservation. Afterwards went to the Monasterio Santa Catalina where nuns had enourmous cells with citchen in an real spanish-feeling architecture ...here are some of the pictures ...
for nuns they had at some times a realy luxuous life ...
and loved cooking ...
Went afterwards in the streets around ...
and another cloisture
Going to the hotel now for shower and dinner afterwards ...
By the way my hotel is called Casa de Tintin and I sleep in the room of Cpt. Haddock
