Lima.. and apparently it is usually this grey!

And it is cold!! We survived the flight... it was a very long day but OK, we managed to watch a few films. Girls were dissappointed, no supersize meal in Miami, as there was only two hours between the flights we were given flourescent orange envelopes to hold above our heads and then every official that saw us herded us to the front of every queue, which we obviously liked and did feel like film stars!
Arrived late to Lima and found a taxi to take us to our hotel (very loose sense of the word!) We were sort of sleeping in a room in someones house, but the people were very sweet, although no one spoke English. I had been in contact with a guy through couch surfing, so he came and picked us up today and we are staying at his for the next couple of nights. The traffic in Lima is worse than Bangkok, very scary and huge traffic jams everywhere. Percy, who we are staying with is very sweet and has been showing us around and giving lots and lots of good advice. We have bought our tickets for going north on Thrusday night, it will take about 8 hours. Percy is very safety conscious which hasn´t helped Mili´s paranoia that we are going to be held up and shot on every bus journey we take!
Hoping the jet lag won´t last too long! No pictures today as have not been able to use my netbook yet.. mind you the only pictures we have are of the girls on the plane and in the airport doing the ususal pouty poses!
