• Day 6

    January 9 in Peru ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    Sorry for the late pinguin. It is now, on the moment of writing, the beginning of day 7. We had a very long day yesterday, that started with breakfast from the supermarket, and bringing our dirty laundary to Mr. Jeff. After that we booked a flight to iquitos for monday morning. That means we will be in the jungle soon! We also booked two beds in a hostel for two nights, with breakfast included and a swimmingpool, that costs us in total... 10 euro! Let's see how that will be 🤭
    When we booked everything, it was 13:00 and we left to go to the city. We were going to meet our friend Chaska at 17:00, so we drank a few cold beers first (also one in the irish pub, where we got a card for a free drink in the irish pub in cuzco. Thanks Sarah and Marcus for this tip!). Chaska took us with a pirate taxi to another part of lima, which was actually more nice than the area we are staying, because it was more 'normal'. Where we are staying is a little bit too tidy and posh for our taste 🤭 we met with some of her friends, Maxi and Teo, and we went to hang out on the street. It was really nice. Chaska left, and we went with maxi and teo to maxis house. It was a big beautiful building that looked like a squat. But going to the toilet , you needed to be with 2 people, because one of the dogs was... not so friendly... and maxi would keep the dog away. Then we went to a hidden pool/billiard bar, behind a closed mall. It was a big hall with bright light, white walls and 20 pool tables. Around 01:00 we wanted to go to sleep, so maxi and teo took us to a taxi. We set on a price of 20 sol (it was quite far) and when we got there, the driver didnt want to take any bills, because they all had mini rips (scheurtjes, risse) of 3 mm in them. Super annoying. In the end, after trying to give him 4 different forms of 20 sol, Nina just pushed 20 sol in his hand and we left the car. We don't know what he wanted. It was really weird. At 01:30 we were 'home' and went to sleep. On saturday there will be a punk concert with 6 bands from all over Latin America. Ofcourse we will be checking it out! Punx not dead! 🤘🐔
