Luxury? Huh.. in Peru?

Ai Ai Ai.. What a night! What a night!

First things first, after leaving the internet café in Chiclayo, we were looking for a place to buy cigarettes (......) which seems bloody impossible in this country! So we eventually came accross this guy selling some in the street be wanted to sell them to us for 8 soles which seemed like a lot to us so we kept walking and asked a security lady in the street, mentioning that the guy accross the street was selling them for 8 soles. She immediately shook her head and took her whistle out and called the guy over!! It was so funny! She asked him why he was selling them to us for 8 soles but he didn´t change his price so she kindly showed us where we would find a shop and we were on our way.
We eventually found our hostal after asking 5 taxi drivers and made our way to the bus station by craming Liv, myself and our 2 bigger than us backpacks in the back seat! Again very funny moment! We arrived at the Cruz Del Sur bus terminal, checked our bags in.. yes, i repeat, checked our bags in! And then to our suprise a guy walks by with a gun in his pocket! Liv immediately freaked out as he seemed to approach a girl who then left with him, but I´m sure they knew each other. I asked one of the security officers if it was legal in Peru for civilians to have guns and apparently it is with a license! Hmm.. Not so funny moment!
Anyway, then we showed our passports, got our hand luggage checked and boarded our bus!
Excuse my french Mummy and Papa but... F*CKING luxury!! Amazingly comfy reclining seats with foot rest, blanket and cushion, panoramic views as we were sitting in the front on the second level, for dinner we had a small salad, rice and chicken and rice pudding and a glass of Inka Cola, which tastes like bubble gum. It was quite nice apart from the desert, but I don´t like rice pudding anyway. Then we watched Red with Bruce Willis and we had our own personal headphones in our seats. I think Peru may be obsessed with Bruce Willis, both movies I saw here stared Bruce Willis. Then I slept, or tried to sleep, it really isn´t easy to sleep in a bus, but it was much better than the other buses I´ve taken. Also the material the blanket and cushion was made from was not very clever as it made you sweat during the night! Not so funny moment! In the morning we had a hot croissant with ham, a small muffin, juice and tea.
Once in Lima, which is very ugly I must say and quite dissapointing, we found our hostal: the Flying Dog and then went out for a walk along the coast which is quite beautiful. Lima is up on a cliff and the beach is down below. We´re gonna go watch the sunset from there tonight and try to get a nice meal!
Tomorrow, we are off to Huacachina which is a small oasis town! Google! I can´t wait!

Miss you all lots xxx
