I collected my laundry and then sat in the kitchen trying to read a Chilean paper and drinking cups of tea. I sat around and watched Captain Corelli's Mandolin. It was time for me to go to the bus terminal. I hopped on the metro and got there with plenty time to spare. I had a horrible chicken burger in the bus terminal and then sat near my bus stop and waited on it arriving. I got bored and phoned my parents to see how they were. However I lost track of time and...

I made it down for the free breakfast at the usual time of 10.55am just before the kitchen shuts. I had to move to Ben's dorm because a group of French people are taking over my dorm.

We then watched Dawn of the Dead in the tv lounge. We were supposed to watch a Colo Colo match tonight but getting to the stadium was expensive ...

It was sugary and greasy but good. We walked up the cobbled streets past colourful but delapid...

Today me and Bridget went looking for the Tur-Bus office to book my bus trip to Cusco. We got the metro to the bus station, a schoolgirl was staring at me and eventually piped up with "Tienes los ojos lindos" which means you have beautiful eyes. I just said thanks and got off at my stop. The bus station was really busy and disorientating..yeah we got lost and couldn't find each other. I found the righ office and bought my ticket. However there is no direct servic...
