Landed in Peru

Walk 4 blocks and this is our view!!

Our exit out of Argentina went very smoothly. When we checked in the girl at check-in told us to go and see immigrations, who simply stamped our departure tax form. We paid the cashola and that was it. The flight was very good. Great food and we got to watch Happy Feet. On arriving in Peru, we showed the police report as we did not have an entrance or exit stamp for Argentina, all okay. We left customs to a see of people all waving cards with peoples names on them and we finally found our guy....Debora (h missing) Blue in huge black letters. He took us to his car and we drove through the streets of Lima in the pitch black at 100 miles per hour. He went down this really windy road to the beach, and that is when we thought we were for the broth pot, but this was the road to Miraflores (district of Lima). We passed loads of police and a hugh black van with all the police officers in black with only their eyes showing.....Yikkeeesss. Not sure what or who they were looking for but in a strange kind of way it was re-assuring. Miraflores is beautiful and we are 4 blocks away from the beach...Again loads of police, so I think there may be a personal secruity problem. They all have big guns too. We have booked a trip that will take us 2 weeks. Leaving Lima tomorrow to Nazca, then Arquipa, then onto Cusco to see Machu Piccu, then Lake Titicaca, then onto La Paz Bolivia. The price includes our accomodation and tours. It was a bit more expensive than we thought, but the chances of us coming back to Peru are slim, so it will all be worth it.
