... wybor nie byl najlepszy. Antonio wybral jak zwykle super jedzenie. My mialysmy rybe w panierce zalana jakims sosem wysztko bylo miekki i nijakie, ziemniaki niedogotowane. Antonio wybral super rybke w sosie musztardowym z ryzem.
Ogolnie wnetrze ladne ale jedzenia nie polecam.

... hours. The owners of the hostel were very helpful and very nice, they are storing our boxes till we get back in december. The hostel was probably one of the nicest i have stayed at, right beside the redwood hostel in redwood national park. Pay Purix backpackers hostel, right next to the airport. Tomorrow we hit the road and hopefully survive getting out of lima which should be interesting ...

... helemaal niet slecht, want ze heeft tot mijn grote ergenis ;-) de hele tijd van alle planten langs de kant van het pad gesnoept zodat we uberhaupt niet opschoten. Amelie besloot ook om af te stappen en zo hebben we samen onze weg vervolgd.

Inmiddels zit mijn eerste dagje in Lima er ook weer bijna op. Het is echt weer even lekker om in een grote stad te zijn na een maand op de eilanden. Lima bevalt me tot nu toe beter dan Quito. Alhoewel Quito eigenlijk wat mooier is voel ik me ...

Departure Day
Well, we arrived at the airport in good time, even thought there was a lot of traffic, thanks to the skillful driving technique of our son, Michael. Check in was uneventful, and Peggy got through security with no problems, however . . . something in my backpack carryon caught the attention of the scanner and I was pulled aside for a "more thorough" check, but only my backpack ...

... a boy named Lucia who is 18 and a girl named Lucy who is 15. Lucia came out about halfway through, shook my hand, grumbled something about how late it was, and walked back into his room....we´ll see if I can´t salvage that relationship with a complimentary bottle of wine in the future. Went to sleep and woke up today to go to UARM. I´ll write more about that in the next post, but I´m almost out of time on the computer so I´m going to wrap ...

The exchange rate at the time was about ...

... before the trek), Kia, Lise and I (with Rodrigo our friendly and faithful finger puppet Llama) stormed on ahead to reach the second and highest pass in good time. Base camp for that night was at an altitude of 4,400m and resultably extraordinarily cold. The lovely Manuel had apparently ordered me a special sleeping bag to cope with the minus 10 degrees of the night but there must have been some mix-up becuase my disgustingly thin "US Army" sleeping bag ...

Vers 14h30, le bus ne viendra pas me dit-on, je descends alors vers Huinco avec les professeurs de l'ecole : prof. de primaire, de sport, d'anglais... Et bien je dois admettre que les profs de village de montagne peruviens, malgre leurs petites chemises et leurs chaussures en cuir ...
