It is rather disgusting to think that I have been holiday now for 6 or 7 weeks (who can keep track really?), the days have merged into one long summer holiday, as I have taken full advnatage of the long, hot days in the Caribbean, and the rather long, crazy nights that have gone with them!
I left my job at the end of July and headed over to Las Vegas to meet up with those 2 crazy kids- Se and Jas. I then spent the next 2 weeks or so in the back of their Monty the Ponty travelling from the hotspots of Vegas to the middle of the bear-infested wilds of Yosemite and then all the way up and down the California Coastline (and falling in love with San Francisco along the way!!).
Back to the Caymans, I had a short but intense struggle with Immigration, finally admitting defeat and decided to book another trip off the island to give them some more time to miss me (and perhaps issue a work permit in my absence...c´mon guys, I have loads of financial investing experience...riiight).
Hence, here I find myself in a rather chilly and damp Monday morning in Lima, Peru. My backpack is stuffed fill of thermal underwear, hiking boots and alpine hat and gloves, I am off to tackle this extraordinary country for a couple of weeks.
I have found myself a rather quirky (??!!) backpackers jaunt in Miraflores and am desperately and urgently awaiting the kitchen to open so I can get some caffeine into my body (my flight landed at 4.30am!), and then it is off to explore the city. So far, the sights and sounds have been enough to inspire a little trepidation (ie, 2 x bearded, long-haired nomads have just wandered out their room and seem to be trying to find their way to the bathroom or bar.... not sure which!).
Right, so this is also the re-launch of the caribbean chicken (after a 7 month hiatus), she is BACK!
Day One: Lima (to be cont.)
(ps, nomads are back with beers...)
