So i did not have the best of nights sleep, as i was kept awake by the bar playing music full blast and the bar was empty and then dogs barking etc etc and so when i get home im going to sleep for a month to catch up on this sleep im missing.
So last night me and the US guys went to our usual haunt and i had a veggie sandwich and chips and they had a burger and chips between them as they were feeling a little worse for wear as they had been sampling the local stuff if you know what i mean, i have dabbled in my youth, but i stick to acohol these days as its a little less harmful and my girlfriends not into the whole substance thing and i made her a promise i would never dabble again and im sticking by it.
I keep getting offered it, but to be honest these days i cant see the point of it.
Anyway we chatted and hung out and then all headed for an earkly night, i was tired but i think from lack of sleep rather than anything else, as
id sat at the pool all day yesterday reading and chatting to a US girl called Megan who is heading to Ecquador and a british girl sarah who is heading to Arequippa aswell but a day later than me.
Later on i met this british girl who had moved into the dorm and she is heading to cusco and southern peru and then back to Lima to fly home for 5 days and then go to Kilmarnjro...i think i spelt that that wrong and then the was a Kiwi guy who wants to meet for a beer i9n Cusco after i finish the trek if im up for it.
So i got to nazca after 10am and went to the airport and got skinted for 66 dollars or about 38 pounds to fly over the lines, so i can now say i did the lines and they were cool but not worth the money, but hey ive done it now.
So i booked a ticket on a cruz del sur bus and all the companys seem to leave at 10pm or later and i had heard that cruz del sur are good company so i have gone
with them, i think i have a cama ticket which means a fully reclining seat to sleep in, although with my spanglish it could be a semi cama, but it seemed to be the most expensive ticket so i therefore hope its the fully reclining, well only time will tell.
The flight was in a tiny cesna plane the smallest i have ever been in and the was me and an argentine couple, i will wait to see how good the piccys turn out.
I felt a bit queasy after the flight but i think thats lack of breakkie, so my to do list to kill time is find some cheap breakkie and then cheap lunch. I found a hostel with a book exchange and so i swapped my book for anew one as i finished my book this morning.
The book i finished was a phillip pullman book and is the basis for the golden compass film and it was a really good read and i will need to find the other two in the series after it.
I also have a tom clancy that i picked up in Buneos aires and have finished and
need to swap aswell.The bus to arrequpia is 12 or 13 hours i think and so i will get to arreuippa sometime tomorrow and so i suppose it kills a day and then if i do a hike and some chilling in Arequippa it will kill a few more days and then i can head to cusco for maybe a week or so before and hang out until my treks.
Im going to be unshaven till i can find a decent chemist as my razor was in my washkit with the other stuff that got left in Lima, i also had my malaria drugs in there for the Amazon, however mark one of the US guys i hung out with for the last few days had just the right amount i needed and he had not used it and wanted to get rid of it as him and Sam are heading upto Lima for a week and then home, so that worked out really well.
