HELLO!
From a VERY sunny, VERY hot Peru!!
Hope you are well and England is not too sad without us! We have LOTS to write about today :)
Yesterday we found in Barranco there wasnt much to do, so we chilled around for the day, we ventured out to the "beach" but it STANK of fish and made me (Jasmine) feel queezy, it wasnt that warm either yesterday, so we chilled out and tried to overcome our jetlag.
This morning we woke up and it was sunnny, we showered and got ready to leave The Point Hostel, Barranco. We walked a few streets up and caught a taxi - we are struggling a little bit with the communication barrier but tried our best to ask him to take us to Centro Lima! The taxi drive was pretty horrendous, they just dont care out here! 4 lanes merged into 1 in the space of about 8 seconds and they beep their horn like theres no tommorow! However we made it alive after Adam trying to speak spanish to the taxi driver and being corrected. I then had an nosebleed in the taxi - all in all it was unsuccseful! We arrieved outside a very big, beautiful cathedral - however this was not the hostal we asked to arrive at, but we got out and decided to use our map to naviagte to the hostal we were looking for - with our VERY big, VERY heavy backpacks in VERY hot heat we walked to our hosta! Our hostal tonight is very lovely, we have our own bathroom and the room is in the shade so its cool.
Today we ventured into the central lima town, we saw something cool happening in this big goverment building but we werent really sure what happened except we werent allowed to take pictures cause the guard caught me trying too!
We were walking along and found a shop called TopiTop which is the peru version of H & M except its not... its crap! We then found MCDONALDS and this made us VERY excited and we could resist....... We shopped around a bit more, found a shop called Saga Fabella which is like a big department store, it was odd and not very cool. We then ate mcdonalds and were very happy.
We went into this REALLY big church and it was weird but pretty amazing - these people kept coming in and putting their hands in water and doing that cross thing across themselves which was interesting.
There are many nutters in Peru - siniging and dancing in the middle of the street! You would also think they have never seen a white girl, we were walking through this Plaza and Adam heard one of them tell me I was " Wow and Delicious " and watching Adam reinact this - accent and all wsa very funny!!
SO overall we have lots to tell you, im about to upload photos and attempt to do videos too. tommorow we might catch a bus to Cusco to explore Machu Picu!
Love to all, we miss you lots, catch you all whenever we next can
JAZZO AND ADAM XXXXXXXXXXXXX
