The 21 hour trip to Lima, Peru went well. The only problem was in Fort Lauderdale airport when breakfast consisted of an good egg sandwich followed by a gulp of chunky milk.
The new year was celebrated in Lima airport while waiting for the driver. Seven of us had a cerveza toast while sitting on our luggage. Once in the van, small fires were unattended on every other street corner. The local custome is to were yellow underwear, place photo copies of politicians faces in a suitcase and set it on fire at midnight to ensure the new year will have safe travels. Must be nice to travel without a suitcase.
The Hostle is located in a nice part of town overlooking a park with many resturantes and nightclubs near. Music and dancing filled the streets untill bedtime at 4 am. There were still children playing on the swings and slides directly below the hostles window at this time. Its summer vacation for schools here but 4 am!
