Today saw us heading to the Museum of Archeology and Anthropology, and History of Peru. It was marketed as a clear, concise history of Peru..... We were unfortunately a little underwhelmed with the experience. It started off with us trying to cash in our discount (remember the membership we bought the other day?) - well, the guy taking our money had no idea what we were talking about, so no discount for us....boo! As we wandered through the museum (swarming with school children and a big grou...

On Sunday, after we had finished our homework of course, we caught a cab across town to go and watch a game of football at the Estadio Municipal. A huge stadium built in an incredibly dusty environment where no form of vegetation known to man was present. Universitario, the Mnachester United of Peru, were stuffed 2-0 at home. Nobby Solano, who played in England for years, was playing for the home team and it was clear that he had come back home for ...
... walkway.
The security for the residential houses here is unreal - of the houses we saw many either have high gates, window grills, fence spikes, or electric fences, or a combination of all four. There are so many police and security people here I´m not sure who they are trying to keep out.
We tried a fast food hamburger place for lunch, a McDonalds alternative. Here they take your order, then give you a number, you wander off while they put your order together ...
... visited the Circuito de Aguas Magicas. It's only been open since 2007 but includes 13 fountains, once choreographed with music and lasers. One was like the Olympic fountain in Atlanta, but I didn't go in and get wet like in Atlanta. It is winter here. The park is only 4 soles and can be reached by taxi or minibus. I recommend it over the tour so that you can save money and wander through it at your leisure.
... br>After eventually getting through the neverending immigration queue which even the locals have to endure, I got out of the trap door that is the international arrivals hall and went straight to an authorised taxi desk which would set me back $10 more than risking my life and walking out into the jungle of a car park where I'd be lept upon by the more routine taxi driver plying his trade. It was now 1 in the morning and the taxi weaved its way through seedy ...
Lima, Peru codownsean... and here's another: maybe the first driver we approached just wanted to see the Jonas brothers.
Anyway, we got a cab to take us to Parque de las Leyendas, the Lima zoo, and enjoyed seeing a different spectrum of animals than you'd find back home. There was a botanical garden too, which struck us funny because it seemed exclusively devoted to different varieties of pine - it looked just like home!
... course, some were better than others. The only one I hated, and moved, was Bahia in Puerto Maldonado. Food was very average. Im not a foodie and generally eat quite cheap and usually on the street. For a country that claims to be the home of the potato and boasts over 4000 varieties they could be a bit more inovative. The only way I was served potato was boiled (and dry, with no sauce) or as chips. Occasionally they would serve a ...
Lima, Peru dzasta... takes about half an hour, and on the way we see the different kinds of birdlife who call this place home for part of the year... swallows darting above our heads and some larger goofy looking birds coming into land on the surface, feet in action before contact so that they hit water in running mode. Showing off to their mates by walking on water, just like that Jesus chap on Lake Galilee. The islands in the middle of the lake are entirely man made, constructed by the local tribes in a ...
Lima, Peru barneyandpierFrom Ica, we waited in line for 2 hours to catch a bus to Lima so that we can head to Huaraz. Once arrived in Lima, we desperately ran around twon for 2 hours in effort to find a room to stay. All the hostels were full. We finally found a hostel, Hostel Lebarco, near the beach where we stayed for $6 ...
