Arrived in Peru - Phew

Cant believe two things:

1. NO MISHAP
I actually arrived in Peru without any major mishap, abduction, or jail sentence. However i was stopped at the Colombian airport and x-rayed for drugs. The soldiers thought i was some loser from the countryside pretending to be Australian.

I think they were all surprised to find that i didnt have anything in my stomach except... shit.

Better luck next time gang.

The taxi driver who picked me up at lima airport was a complete champion. Never mind that he was hassling me from the time i got out of customs, and i was trying to ignore him. We settled on a price before i got in the cab which was only a couple of $us more than the bus (thankyou lonely planet, i owe you my firstborn!). I was so relieved not to be robbed that i gave him a tip.

2. PASSABLE SPANISH
I can actually converse semi-fluently with people who dont talk too fast. never mind that i´m almost always talking in present tense becuase i cant (how do you say..) conjugate (?) my verbs... except for my favourite words
fui - i was
fue - you was
you can use them for any verb under the sun (i think). thank god.

I´ll give u a rundown on colombia when i can, but right now, i need a shower, a haircut and some deodorant. and maybe a disco nap!

p.s.
No photos today cos i havent taken any!
