Inca Kola

At beer o'clock on Monday we took some time to pull together an outline plan for the next few weeks. We've booked to stay on what looks like a beautiful estancia two hours south of Mendoza, in Argentina, for Christmas and so we have a lot of ground to cover (2200 miles by bus) to ensure we're there by the 23rd December.

Planning was hungry work so we went for dinner at Inkazuela - Peruvian beef & Aji stew and a glass of malbec followed by an early night with a cup of coca tea (much to Marc's disappointment - I appreciate the feedback).

On Tuesday morning we took a 'Collectivo' - a shared minibus - to Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley to look at the Inca ruins. 

Ollantaytambo

I had my first and possibly last bottle of Inca Kola today, it's just like Irn Bru but luminous yellow. However, if it has the same hangover healing properties as Irn Bru I may keep a bottle in reserve for the morning after the night we find the worlds best Pisco Sour!

How is it possible for a drink to be this colour......?

Talking of Pisco Sours.... We ate at Limo Cocina Peruana & Pisco Bar last night, I had Pork loin and black quinoa ragout - preceded by a Maracuya Pisco Sour - oh my goodness - it was absolutely scrumptious (thanks Marc).

Do we even have maracuyas at home, I may not come home if we don't.
