Retrospective entry here guys as I am not confident in the ipad app as 3 days have not been transferred to my blog, therefore do not want to rely on that as the only source of updating my blog. This means no pics when I make an entry from a hotel or internet cafe computer though.

We left Lima on Friday 3 August and I was pretty much …

Stage 1 - done

So... we are here!!
Despite it taking us 19 hours door to door, it wasnt too bad at all. The chewy sarnies and mystery meat on the plane kept us amused between catching up on some sleep every so often (I yet again was asleep before we even made it to the runway) and watching the cheesiest movies known to humankind so the time actually passed …

... pretty bad to be honest.

Most food is really bland, even when they advertise food as "hot" or containing "chili" or "spicy" its still bland and lacking in flavour.

Plus they eat some truly disgusting things. We saw some Guinea Pigs today (you see them in most markets) and Guinea Pig is a delicacy here. You can see them running about and squeaking away and you pick the one you want. Pretty off putting, I had thought I would give it a try but even ...

Another shitty story!

... dat het een gevolg was van de pillen die we namen tegen malaria toen we in de jungle waren. Oef! Gerustgesteld! Ik ga nog niet dood. Bart daarentegen stierf wel een beetje diezelfde nacht. Hij deed geen oog dicht en zat meer op de pot dan hij in zijn bed lag. Lang leve de burrito die er langs beide kanten tegelijkertijd uitspoot. Plastisch, we weten het! Maar hiervan vinfen jullie gelukkig geen foto's terug in de blog.

Voor deze 'deugddoende' ...

Hotel is clean and tidy, all in good working order with WiFi and computers to use included. Breakfast is good and reception pleasant and helpful. Would recommend as a good place to stay for the first couple of nights.

“ Do Not stay in this hotel if you want to sleep! ”

We were booked into this hotel with our small tour and not one of us were happy with it. Rooms are not sound proof, no tissues, no drinking water, no clock, no where to put your luggage, and as a lot of rooms are inward looking over courtyard where dining room opens from, as groups leave at all times of the night, you are constantly woken.Staff are not friendly and all round this is the worst hotel we have ever stayed in.
