Today was a very nice relaxing day which we needed after the
jam packed last few days. Jeff keeps saying “I needed this,” “this is my kind
of hotel,” “I love this place.” J
We slept in for the first time in what seems like a long time and went to the
breakfast buffet, which is included in our room. We thought the last Starwood hotel buffet was
great (which it was), but this one is even better! They have anything you could
possibly want and more. We felt like gluttons because of how much we ate, but
we had to try everything.
After breakfast, we took a leisurely walk around the resort
grounds which are beautiful. We are right in the middle of the Sacred Valley surrounded by the Andes Mountains and right on
the Urubamba River. After our walk, we headed to the pool. The pool is half
indoor and half outdoor and is overlooking the river and mountains, so it is very beautiful. We spent a
few hours reading by the pool and relaxing….I worked on catching up on the blog
too. J
It did feel nice not to have anything to do or anywhere to be today and just to
enjoy the hotel. We did end up taking a taxi to the Salt Flats later in the
afternoon, which was really cool to see. Basically, the Inka’s discovered how
to mine salt from one of the springs on this mountain and the same salt mining
techniques are used by the people today. It was very interesting to see how it
was done. Ok, we have dinner reservations at the hotel's traditional Peruvian restaurant soon, which I
am very excited about so I better get ready!
