Fire And Lasers!

In the morning I Liska took me round the markets so I could see where the fruits, meat and vegetables for the kitchen in Mandela's Lounge come from. Obviously Liska knew everybody in the market too!

Liska seems to be one of the few people dedicated to her bar profession. She keeps a notebook and in it are all her obsersations from various bars and clubs she visits. From that she's able to critique any place we walk into - we're talking everything: room layout, drink choice, interior design, lighting, colours, chairs... The girl is seriously good!

Come evening, after the Lounge closes, we all pile back to Club Izakaya. Only this time it's empty and lacks any kind of atmosphere. The place is still dark and there's still lasers, lights and strobes being brandished about, but only us to enjoy it. The bar man quickly got bored, jumped onto the dance floor, bottle of spirit in hand, and started drawing patterns on the floor with the booze before setting fire to it!

Cool! Fire & Lasers! Lasers & Fire! Cool!

People eventually turn up but Club Izakaya still closed early, well, before sunrise! Not wanting the night to end so soon, this being my last night in Cusco, we ended up in Mamma Africas. The generic American party music may not be to my liking but Mamma Africas always throws a good party and with girls dancing on the bar, tonight was no exception!
