Well this was a mess. I arrived at the airport and I couldnŽt see anyway holding a sign for me like there was meant to be. I walked through and managed to find a really dodgy taxi driver who convinced me to go for a drink. Mistake number one. While we were having a drink his mate stole my camera and some other stuff from my bag in the car. When we got in the cab the guy had a couple of friends and after we had stopped by the side of the road for a while I agreed to pay US$50 for the ride, a rip. Unfortunately I hadnŽt checked the exchange rate (mistake number 2) and they convinced me to pay 10 times what I thought I was. Oh well you live and learn and although I feel pretty gutted by the whole experience IŽll get over it. WeŽre off to Machu Pichu tomorrow which should take my mind off it all.
