The next week is fairly repetitive so a normal day would consist of snacks for breakfast, learning some Spanish in the morning, cheap Israeli restaurant for lunch and chill out with my Peruvian mates for the afternoon and evening. I wanted to just relax for the week and wait for Dee to join me on the trip north so I booked into a £4 double room and just wanted a cheap and chilled week.
