First day of travel with the tour. We have free time until 11:50 when we are to leave for the bus station. Breakfast is included with the room, traditional of bread rolls with butter and jam. Nothing of substance. We do get a nice fresh pineapple drink. We supplement it with mandarins and custard apples. We go for a walk to find the beach, but have some difficulty. It is very hot and we walk down some side streets. There are still plenty of little shops, but th...

Woke up early- or didn't sleep much, either one! We had arranged to meet Omy at 9am at our hostel so busied ourselves packing our bags from things successfully spread across the room. By the end of last night Malcolm was also ill, but we manage to eat breakfast or buns, egg and tea. We are down in the foyer before 9am awaiting our ride. 9 comes and goes as does 9:15. Malcolm tries to ring on the number he was given, but no connection goes through. We just hav...

Saturday We decided to have a quiet day and I'm glad we did. The closest church was about a 30 min walk away. We Studied the lesson and Caught up on some sleep.

I'm glad Mal is feeling well. I finish up the bread and banana for dinner. Malcolm had finalised meeting ...

We awake feeling groggy from our early morning wake up and Malcolm comments on how noisy it was in the night till at least midnight. I'm glad I do not remember. We go down stairs to the small kitchen and one proprietor asks what we need. We inform we are ready for breakfast and he then informs another man who appears to only speak Spanish. He starts preparing breakfast for us: buns, butter and jam, hot water and a choice of herbal teas (coco, chamomile,aniseed an...

Sleep was a wished for thing Mexico to Lima for the most part unfortunately. Leaving us very exhausted; though sadly unable to check in until later in the day. Leaving customs we were accosted by many taxi drivers asking if we needed a ride. You could request a card in customs with an agreed upon price for your taxi trip to present to a driver outside. A good idea really. We found a space against the wall (again with the no seats in airports!) to rest and fresh...
