We went to Lima in search of a beach side time of joy before our jungle trek... But when we arrived the hostel had double booked us, and there was not a bit of sun in the sky. Anyhooooooo we stayed a couple of days none the less, making the mosto and all that..
We had a meal out the first night, which came as a whole fish for me, eye ball and all, and completely uncooked fish for JP... Both of which went down a shit storm after 23 hour bus ride!
The rest of our time here was really uneventfully to be honest, and Lima a pretty underwhelming place. We did befriend the local policia because we kept asking them where we could buy shit from.. Once we walked past and they said 'you find chocolate?' and I went 'No but we have cakes instead, nom nooom!'
Nom noming the armed Peruvians, whateves.
But yeah, we were well reads to leave for Iquitos and The Amazon times anyways...
So our flight was delayed, which was ney bother.. The journey was done in 2 parts, so we had to land half way and take off again.. lush! But then the flights turbulence was up there with the worst of my life, and this gave me a slightly bad time. The stewards ran off at one point to strap themselves into their seats, always a mile-high confidence boast! Then the plane dropped what felt like 50ft and the woman next to me started screaming and grabbing hold of my arm.... No!! I'm trying to hold my own shit together here lady! When the drinks came back around I necked a beer in a 0.5 seconds, and Screamy Mcgrabs went 'ahh you like Peruvian beer?' I said 'No i just don't like flying' and she laughed and went 'haaaha yes I see you cry a little!' No I did not.......... FUCK OFF LADY!!
Anyhow we arrived fine figures of ladies in Iquitos and took a tuck tuck of death to the hostel, which by this point we loved drag racing in an open air cart without seat belts, that had our bags tied to the back with a shoelace, yeah!
Tomorrow we head into the AMAZON!! And I expect to be don nothing but a loin cloth come lunch time!
