So onwards to Lima. Flight was delayed by 1 hour. So got myself a
big bottle of water and a sandwhich. As the flight was at 12, I was quite amazed nobody was at the gate yet, I guessed something was wrong, two other peruvians were standing confused as well. But they said as it was another ora, it would be ok, yeah right I thought. So found the right gate, told the peruvians as well, but they didn´t believe me. Saw them at 12 rushing in, while were still waiting.
So after boarding, some terrible food and a few hours sleep, they called if there was a doctor on board, so the girl behind me rushed over to the other isle, where a guy had passed out, he needed treatment straightway, luckely he survived and we didn´t have to return to the airport.
The guy next to me was eating away mints and had a terrible cold and had to blow his nose every two minutes, quite disgusting, while I was trying to enjoy my 4 euro flight wine. He was a real bore and didn´t say a word. So I asked the stewardess for some orange juice to mix with my secret flask of wodka, when she returned she spilled the whole bloody thing over this business guy next to me, he was literally soaking and I had to look the other way, so not to start laughing. He was pretty pissed of to say the least! So after a few orange juices and the amazon gliding by below me, I started to enjoy the flight.
The pick up was arranged in Lima so I was brought to my hostal straight away. No hassle nothing. In the hostal I met this dutch guy who runs a disco in Cusco and told me the craziest story. He had made a documentory on dvd with a Peruvian guy, who´s father was a scientist and made a new theory why the Inca´s were able to build all these huge structures. He had come to the conclusion that 500 years ago, gravity had to be less the nowadays. I think he completely lost the plot to be quite honest, both the theory maker and this Dutch guy, who was pretty pissed I gathered from his slow tongue. He now wanted to sell the documentary to the peruvian televesion for 600.000$!!!! But they had kindly refused him😊
I will be visiting him later though as he invited me to his disco, so quite curious what that must look like!
So I strolled down the lanes for some dinner had the nicest and biggest fish ever and went back, saw this horrible car crash, where a driver had drilled himself into a pole and was amazed actually that everybody was just standing there and watching it as was it reality tv!
Had a few beers with the owner of the hostal and went to sleep. Tomorrow I will be flying to Arequipa, bit of a shame actually as I am not starting till monday with my Spanish lessons, so I am missing out on the Limanese nightlive!

Cuzco disco
Hi Mischa, Ben benieuwd of het die disco in een soort halve kelder achter een primitieve pizzeria is. Heel cheesy, een beetje een soort bonte-avond sfeertje in de brugklas. Hoewel, dat was 1997, zo lang gaan die disco's meestal niet mee.
