The 12-sided rock, ooooh

Tuesday 1 April 2008
I decided to put this up today because it feels a bit like an April Fool's day trick that Cusco likes to pull on tourists. All over the place you hear about the magnificent 12-sided rock, the marvel of Incan engineering, a wonder not to be missed. To be honest, the first time I saw it, I thought "Is this it?" Yes, upon further examination is it impressive the way they've shaped the rock to fit so perfectly into the wall. It's along a street in the center so narrow that I am more impressed that 50 German tourists can fit in it at the same time, all of them snapping pictures.
