You are prawn

Greetings from two extremely sunburnt and happy travellers (yup thats right, we are calling ourselves that). While mizz got away with a slightly pink nose and shoulder, I resemble the (amazing) salmon sashimi we had for dinner last night (more on that later).
We spent yesterday walking around Lima and its beaches for about 5 hours during which we got veryyy lost, hence the burn, followed by a trip to the crafts markets here which are AMAZING - the same style kind of as a moroccan souk but much cheaper and less harrassment and more llama toys. We went back today and got new day rucksacks, an alpaca jumper (for me), pencilcases (for mizz) and bracelets, all for about 1p. With our new "hindu style" trousers the gap yah transformation is nearly complete. We fit in very well at the hostel. However, pretty much every taxi driver on the street sees that we are white (by which i mean pink) and assumes we need a cab.
Yesterday evening we played poker on the roof of our hostel, had our first pisco sours (which are amazing!!) and met our first israelis (weve already met more) and then went for dinner with an old friend of mine and his super friendly and super generous (rich) friends who took us out for some of the most amazing sushi ive ever eaten and then passion fruit pisco sours (also amazing).
Today after going back to the market we went to a seafood restaurant and shared two ENORMOUS plates of incredble ceviche which came to about 11 pounds in total. Definitely getting used to this. The 26 group long line for the restaurant was definitely worth it.

Sooo today whilst walking back from the restaurant the following encounter happened:

Random fat american man, walking up to mizz: You have a lot of hair
Mizz: I know, it gets really hot
Fat man: Have you ever considered shaving it off?
Mizz : Yes but Im worried I have a weird shaped head
Fat man: Can i touch it?
Mizz: No.
(Hot latina woman walks past, fat man very obviously checks her out and looks her up and down)
Fat man: Do you think she was cute?

We walk off and a few minutes later...

Fat man: I shaved off my hair and I think I have a funny shaped head, do you think it looks okay?


SO thats peru. They also have a brand of tuna called Fanny.

Love from Mizz and Lander xxxxxxx
