Max & Dean Year Out 05/06
Escaped...Hurrah......
That really was a close call in Pucon and to be honest, we were getting highly suspicious of the night manager in the hotel we were staying.
Night mgr basically told us that all forms of transport to Santiago incl. the local donkey / pissy bus service were canx. We decided that we'd travel to the next big town and take our chances, lo and behold ... there was no problem at all. We reckon he was either just trying to keep us in the hotel and make loads of cash out of us, or he and his wife had been imprissioned there themselves Eons ago, and couldn't leave until they'd replaced themselves...
Anyway - in Lima now and oh Jesus...where the Feck have we landed
Arrived at the airport in the wee hours of this morning, and caught an official taxi to our hostel. Alarms bells sounded when he pushed my rucksack onto the floor of the cab and hurridly locked all the doors before driving off. Then he proceeded to drive like a complete crazed lunatic. I honestly thought that he was going to either kidnap us or kill us with his crazy driving. Dean had decided just to kick him in the head if he started any funny business. Not sure how that would have helped. Would have made him feel good tho'eh?
I just kept praying that we'd make it to the hostel alive and that I would be able to laugh about it later. Well, I am laughing now, so all ok. Phew!
Lima is pretty crappy, so we're outta here tomorrow. Cities are annoying us anyway. Off to Pisco and then on towards Nazca and Lake Titicaca. Need some R&R
