Last day in Lima & arrived in Cusco!

So first of all, I´m already back on the internet because the homestay people I´m meant to be staying with didn´t pick me up from the airport but I managed to catch a taxi with a very nice man for less that the people of Lonely Planet said it would cost and despite the scary stories and warnings Lonely Planet gives you. Now all I need to do is wait for the spanish school office to open so I know where the hell I go.

What I can tell you about Cusco at this point is it´s zero degrees and clear skies and so far I think I like it!

Funny story 1: When I went to get my bag out of the overhead locker water dripped out everywhere. People be warned, don´t put those cycling water bottles with the pop tops, full of water, lying sideways when flying especially to places at high altitude. DUH!

UPDATE: when I used my roll-on deodorant first the first time up here, the ball popped out completely. Gotta love that altitude (3300m!)

My last day in Lima was a nice contrast to my first day in Lima. Instead of dudes wanting to have my babies I met a nice guy who escorted me home on the bus and a nice girl who offered to take me out on the town when I get back.

I went to Miraflores where I saw people doing capoeira, and then down to the beach where I saw people surfing, in well... the photo can show you the lovely stuff that washes up on the beach there. I also went to Hhuaca Pullana (spelling?) which is a ruin they are restoring. Hence:

Funny story 2: The always trustworthy Lonely Planet said this particular tourist attraction, an adobe pyramidal structure had free admission. I only had about 40 minutes before it closed so I rushed through the gate only to have a guy chase me saying "!¿Ä donde vas?!". Thinking it was another dude wanting to make small talk again I said "Australia" and kept walking. He cracked up laughing. I thought about what he said again, and then realised I had to pay and he was asking me where I was going. Australia. Good one Joey. You´ll be walking for a long time. REALLY time to improve my spanish.

I also when to some Park Del Amore (again, spelling I have no idea). And has you can see, I´m all alone! Damn statues making out infront of everyone, rubbing it in!

I also improved my nutritional intake. Well, nearly. Joey is eating dessert AGAIN!
