Lima Peru

We`ve arrived into Lima Peru. Landed this morning after a bloody early flight. Its colder here than we anticipated. Managed to survive the maniac who tried to kill us while driving us to the hostel. The hostel here is clean and quiet, something Tash is looking forward to as she is suffering quite badly from jetlag. Hasn`t slept for 2 days poor dear. Looking at her eyes, she should do better tonight. And the sleeping pill should help.

Santiago was a nice city and we both liked it there. Had fun and saw some pretty cool stuff. Lovely architecture and squares. We did however manage to have the worst seafood meal EVER. We went to this place on a recommendation. It was sea themed, complete with decour, large fake whale skeleton, the works. This place was like the kitchest place you can imagine, multiplied by ten. Tash had a broth that looked and tasted like it was the water the poor seafood was boiled to hell in. It was the chewiest, oldest, grittiest experience. This is one of those meals that will forever be a marker in the sand. ´at least this isn´t as bad as that experience in Santiago!´ But enough of the bad stuff.....

Tomorrow we head on a 3 hour bus ride to a place called Pisco. There are islands off the coast that are the ´poor mans Galapagos´, so we thought we´d give them a go. More soon....
