After a very, very long trip from Amsterdam-Madrid-Lima I finally arrived tired but safe at 23.00 hours Peruvian time at my lovely hostal "Mami Panchita" (www.mamipanchita.com) in Lima. It was a very chaotic, during more than 26 hours, trip in every sense. But no harm done, all the lugage arrived and still in one piece. Today (9th December) I explored Lima with its 10 million inhabitants. It has beautiful sites (Plaza Mayor and Miraflores) also because of its position, slightly descending into the Pacific, and it is obvious that the government is trying to keep the touristic spots clean at all times, but I stepped out of the obvious and I saw very poor circumstances. The smell of the exhaust(pipe)gases of the cars is almost insupportable. This, the slums and the clouds gave this metropolis a sad and grey cover at times. But the people are very friendly and in the first three hours of my stay I was in the proud possesion of no less than 5 telephone numbers and emailaddresses. And all this for free. Imagine at the end of the day ;-) Tomorrow the 10th I´ll fly to Cusco where I will start working on Monday. So another early start....

Hey meisje!! Blij te horen dat je goed bent aangekomen en dat alles goed met je gaat. Hartstikke spannend allemaal! Beetje onhandig dat ik nog geen internet heb thuis, maar zodra ik een pc spot, zoek ik je op :-) Heel veel plezier en succes, make it one to never forget! Liefs van Laar
