Top of the morning to yer
just to say i have manged to land in the strange but marvelous lands of peru and survived these past three days, the jet lag is terrible but not nearly as terrible as the flight with Iberia (british airways!) i use the term bristish airways very loosly here....
I now get the jokes about Iberia...when we landed everyone Applauded! obviously some of these people had flown with Iberia before, i wish they'd spoken to me before we departed i may have re-booked by flight.....the plane was soooo old they still had ashtrays in the arm rests...and they wouldn't even let you smoke...the cheek!!!!
It wasn't just the plane that made the experience bad, the service was awful, is it so hard to smile...not even once...the stewardesses looked so miserable you daren't ask for small cup of water...we only got served dinner 30 minutes before we landed, i think they noticed myself and others attempts to gnaw at our appendages after 8 hours without food and surviving on meager alcohol handouts.
l
well i have survived three days in Lima without being mugged( did i speak too soon), we went on an excursion to Pacahamac (something like that)...we were very proud of getting our two local buses which took 1.5 hours and making the whole trip with little assistance ( thanks Ricardo for the idiot proof directions!!!) which saved us $75 each by not taking an organised trip (Hard core backpackers!!!)...p.s the place was literally a pile of ruins! but hey ho, win some lose some...
today i'm heading into chinatwon (how could i not!!!!)...maybe eat some Chifa food (notice how i drop some spanish in there!!, i'll be able to order a full dish in no time)
have an overnight bus booked for tonight to take us to Huaraz which should be brilliant..the place not the bus...
Will update you all soon, #
Thanks to those who came to my leaving do...i had a brilliant time, i tried to attach pictures but my system crashed and i had to write this whole email again!!!...
Tip: Womens size shoes only go upto size 5, being size 5.5 i have had to get a size 5 from the mens department....its not the shoes i worry about so much its when it comes time to buy trousers or worse yet, underwear ;(
