Ian & Claire's Adventure
Buenos Dias
Hi everyone, update from peru
havent found paddington yet, I dont think you can get marmalade sandwiches either.
We're fine, this place is crazy, we should have learned spanish a bit better, its big and scary but not too much in your face. Two little scumbags nicked the bloody peru rough guide from my(c) hand about an hour ago so we're travelling blind for the moment.
Its winter so it goes dark at 6pm but sort of muggy with a cold wind, there are no tourists here, starting to realise why, most people scarper pretty sharpish to nicer places, so we've got our ticket out of here to pisco tomorrow, off to see some penguins and lions on an island called the ballestos! sounds like trouble (for the penguins) although cats hate water so maybe not.
In the space of one day we've already lowered our sites from the dizzy heights of a $30 a night hotel in Miraflores to a $5 a night hostel in downtown Lima. Tomorrow its a manger if the Inn is full but we'll have to make friends with the Burro(donkey).
We'd better go as we haven't quite worked out when prices are in dollars or sol and they talk so fast we could be spending a fortune in this internet cafe which looks like a bank.
Next stop Pisco.
Claire and Ian
