friday 1-08 had dinner at hotel,Mr Koals, a good sign that locals were eating there,asparagus soup and veggie ried rice forunder 3 pounds,beers 675 mls cienanzo cost one pound 20.

went for a wander, down a street of money changers standing in the street quoting exchange rates for various currencies,better than bank rates but are the notes genuine,all shops open late great if you ewant to buy shoes as every second shop was a shoe shop,

ended up in bar riconor, a peruvian beirkeiller with tuetonic influences, all staff in leiderhosen serving steins of lager but all signs and posters in english, i was waiting for an oompah band with panpipes,sadly they did not appear,beirs reasonable at around 2 pounds,serve food also

went then to estadio on plaza san martin, a sports bar with large screen shows sky sports, statue of that bloke that rifled the shot past a doodgy permed alan rough in argentina in 1978,was it cubillias)apologies for lack of a question mark here witters but it takes time to adapt to a peruvian keyboars based i think on north american model,hold control and alt to get@ is what i have learned so far

sorry for going of at a tanget but witters is a stickler for propetries

back to estadio , bedecked with scarves,strips and flags, sat beside a waxwork of diego maradona ,beirs around 2 pound serve food,

noticing pele,ronaldo and zidane were there also and i had not slept for 23 hours thought it was time to get back to hotel as i thought i was entering the twilight zone

first impressions lima , noisy, great use of thre horn by drivers,cars well dented, a bot like aberdeeen , coastal ,bit of a haar, streets full of beggars but no big issue sellers
