Calgary - Ottawa - Toronto - Lima - Julica - Puno in 24 hours

March 31 - April 1
Well this was a bit of a marathon to get down here but in roughly 24hours I arrived at a hotel. The mini bus driver dropped me off at a hotel and was waiting around to see if I would take it. This of course raised red flags as I thought most definately was waiting for his commission. The lady spoke as much english as I did spanish so it made for an interesting conversation between her myself and my spanish book. She wanted 50 Soles divid by three aprox but I was not interested the place seemed pretty above my standard, however she was out to get my buisness and bieng tired of holding my bag and trying to converse we agreed on 30 soles (just under 11 dollar.) The room at Don Julio c had hot water so I took a shower and got ready to leave however feeling the jet laugue and maybe the altitude i feel asleep waking up some 4hours later to a re-run of Lost.

Puno chile is a beautiful town with a good mix of tourist and locals, I´ve been able to get by on my terrible spanish I speach mostly english except for the pharmacy which I gave alot of head nodds and blank look. I picked a scab on my face which has swollen up rediculously I probly shouldn´t worry my mother by putting up a picture but here goes.

Mom don´t worry if these drugs don´t work i am meeting up with Nishi who is a pharmacist on Sunday. I was able to book a bus to Cocacabana (que the music) for tomorrow morning through Lima travel via Peruvian dream, who have been very helpful. Initialy I ws planning to stay in Julica but the agent at PD told me there were ¨many thieves¨ there.
