Goodbye Peru
Can´t believe how quickly these past 3 weeks have gone! Have just waved off Carlos on his plane back to the UK and I will also be leaving tomorrow for Ecuador (Quito) at midday. Decided to go there as I have found what sounds like a great hostel for someone in my position - they look after you well and organise activities so you can meet up with fellow backpackers - and they´re picking me up at the airport too. Will let you know how I get on with that.
The last few days in Lima have been brilliant! Carlos has endeavoured to show me the “real Lima” - have spent the days visiting the best beaches and I´ve eaten practically every delicacy there is in Peru (food is gorgeous here). Last night we went out with a large group of his friends to this area full of pubs and clubs, around 90km south of the centre of Lima. It´s where all the rich and beautiful of Lima go and the open-air clubs are on the beach. We stayed out to the early hours, slept for a bit (in the car) and then went straight to the beach for some more napping. Lots of fun! Was also nice to mingle a bit with Peruvians and get my Spanish back on track again. Have only had a couple of hours sleep today though, so am going to go and desperately try to pack my backpack (those hair straighteners will fit in!) and then go to bed. Will write again when I find internet access in Ecuador xx
Hi Watter! Gosh, that all sounds terribly exciting - you seem to be having loads of fun so carry on and come back safe! Kate x

sounds like fun. Travelling 90km for a night out sounds like living in back in Weighton!
