Inca Museum ZZZZzzzzzzzzz (Updated)
If you are anything like me, even just reading that title with the word museum in it bored you more than the M4 Junction 8-9 on a Monday morning .
Unless the museum has flashing lights, audio, lasers, moving things, and stuff you can touch and usually break (Sam says that sounds like a babies mobile!) then I´m throughly bored.
Let me introduce you to the WORST museum on the planet, Cuzcos Inca Museum.
Tomorrow we go to the 7th wonder of the world, the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu. We thought that before we go we should learn a little about the guys who built it. We located the museum (44) on the Lonely Planet map, and pushed past the Llamas selling photos of thier owners, to pay an extortionate 10 Soles (2 pounds) entry fee. We then spent 1 hour looking at pots, stones, dirty clothes, empty cabinets, really bad paintings, useless descriptions that didn´t match the items and all in a totally random order. We left the museum having learnt nothing much about Incas or Machu Picchu, except that they grew corn and potatoes (4000 types of), the Spanish were gits but built good churches, and the Incas were very very good at carving the male, female, and llama genitalia.
If you are coming to Cusco do yourself a favour, find a nice bar, order a Cusqueña and read the Lonely Planet section on Machu Picchu. Even though by now after nine months you probably hate the dam Lying Planet, but ofcourse you couldn´t possibly survive without it. My PRECIOUSSsssssssss.

I am retracting my comment about Victoria Beckhams face, as I lay awake on Saturday night worriying that it was uncalled for and rude. So instead i compared boring museums to the M4 rather than Mrs B.
