In need of a rest

Hola Mis Amigos,

Arrived in Lima as sheduled at about 5.30 yesterday. Nothing exciting to report on the way here. although the views from the plane over the amazon were pretty cool! All very straight forward with flights etc. Went through Lima airport no probs and my taxi man was waiting for me at the other side. After hearing stories about negotiating a taxi to be a bit nightmarish, was quite dissappointed, no-one really wanted me in there taxi!

Fun and games on the way back though... He showed me to his "small limozene" which is the smallest car I have ever been in. Taxi driver was highly amusing and was keen for me to practice my spanish. This turned into a mix of Spanish and English as really couldn't be bothered to even think by that point! The reason for his tiny car became appartent as the games started on the road. (pictures will be added shortly) Basically the thinner your car the smaller gaps you can fit through, weaving our way though crazy traffic with all kinds of odd car, trucks buses etc. Second key point is to keep as close as possible to the car infront so that no-one can possibly get infront of you! So after a lot of stopping and starting, beeping and signalling with his left arm due to a lack of left indicator and nearly being sandwiched between all kinds of massive trucks, got back to the hostel pretty shattered. So got some water and retired to bed!

Been round Lima today, interesting place, but getting a bit bored already, also shattered so heading off to Huaraz this evening for a bit of a relax!

Will add some photos soon!

Much Love
