Day: 419
A simple 4 hour bus ride into Lima? Sounds simple huh? For a second we forgot we were in South America and actually thought it would be that easy.
We were told that buses leave every 10 minutes to Lima, so after a long breakfast we all packed our bags and caught a taxi into town to find the bus into Lima. We strolled up to find that the reason that buses left every 10 minutes was because that wasn’t even enough to cover the demand for people who wanted to go north. Ed and I proceeded to split up into different lines, with Felicia scouting out ahead of us in our separate lines to figure out what was going on and reporting back. Shady people kept coming up to me and offering me private rides for cheaper than the buses then got mad when I ignored them.
After a little more than an hour we managed to get tickets, and with another 15 minutes of waiting/bathroom time we were actually on a bus. Ed and I passed the time watching Lara Croft (aka Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider) in Spanish, and Felicia just took a motion sickness pill and fell asleep to her Ipod.
The 4 hours turned to 5 and by the time we reached Lima it was dusk. A taxi ride got us to our hostel where only a sock smelling dorm was available, and soon we were off for some much needed food after we missed lunch earlier.
