We have left the delightful Lima behind. With a population of 9 million you think that they might be able to produce at least one decent taxi driver who actually knew where he was going!

Saw plenty of other sites in Lima, other than the bars, managed to find 2 cinemas and saw a couple of films (both for less than a $1).

Yesterday was a long all day drive to Huaraz, which i thought was going to be a nice place - it`s not. Had hoped to buy some dodgy goods here but they want more than they cost back home! This is suppose to be a cheap country. We are back at altitude (just under 4000m) so the beer drinking is back to the lets get drunk for cheap. At least i got to see the election result before going to bed.

After tonight we have to camp for 4 nights (2 on a beach), just to make you all feel that slightly bit less jealous.
