The flight to Lima, Peru from Buenos Aires was short. Well, at least for us. Because we slept during all the flight. It was a 4 hours flight.
We spent like less than an hour in that airport. We did't buy anything because it was a little expensive for me. The stores were a little more expensive than the duty free shop in Buenos Aires Airport.
Well, there's not too much to say about our stay in Lima.
In a few words just to make it clear. It was ok. That's it.

... but nothing compared to Lima. When we finally made our way through the city center the real fun began. We decided to take one of the small roads on our maps and it turned out to be very very very rough. They tried to pave it but that just made it worse because there were tons of potholes everywhere. But we made it through all the small villages along side it and even got ourselves a ...

... that we take the most expensive bus company, and first class at that, to take us from Lime to Ica (Huacachina) following his near heart attack on the Ecuadorian buses. I must admit that the extra large, extra comfy seats, mindless comedies shown (in English) and careful drivers were definitely worth the extra few soles!

With that happy thought we shall leave you, until the next episode of our blog,

Eigene Sicherheitsleute, 3 Mahlzeiten, Zwischenverpflegung und Filme in

... of the tour, Rowena and I shelled out some soles to get some great wine after tasting a few different bottles. We'll pop open a few for y'all when we see you (that's family or friends or both). The bodega mentioned here is Vista Alegre and is situated in the poorer side of Ica so a taxi is recommended to get there. (BTW that recommendation about the taxi is from the guide book, but I think you can huff it with no problems.)

... but it quickly became clear that he knew the area, but not where it was. It was in an area called Miraflores. He stopped to look at a map and asked a policeman for directions. He called the hostel and told them he was bringing me. He then said that they were full up so he would reccommend a different place for me to stay. I had a booking so knew there was a room, so told him very firmly to take me to the hostel. We got there eventually, by which time ...

L'exposition chronologiques des civilisations est tres bien faite avec ...

And i say, "well i'm sort of nervous." and just like that with not even a minute shred of doubt he says, "You will be okay, brother. The one, will take care of you. You will walk the path." And i left. On the Pit-Houston ...
