After the unfortunate episode with thieves backpacks in Lima, we have not thought about - the next day we woke up, caught the local bus to the outskirts of the Peruvian capital city, and went looking for a good place to raise your thumbs qlap mall cineplex to the north. The first attempt at hitchhiking in South America!
On every continent and in every country I visited - people you correspond of this mode of transport, because it is dangerous. Because they heard about a negative experience. Because they care for you. As we assured and street vendor coffee with whom we talked before we start with the rate - Es muy peligroso! And all of this should be taken into account, weigh the pros and cons (in principle - use common sense), and make a decision. As with everything in life.
As in our heads the same likelihood that we will sit trucker who is free (or at work) during serial killer hitchhiker, or to us, riding the bus, negligent drivers fall into a ravine, we chose the cheaper and, in fact, more convenient mode. Often the automatic train faster and more comfortable mode of transport, especially qlap mall cineplex in countries with slow and uncomfortable qlap mall cineplex public transport. And so after waiting two minutes stopped a truck that goes straight to our destination - Chimbotea.
We have replaced a couple of smiles with the driver, and soon drove Panamericana - the longest street in the world, stretching from Alaska to southern Argentina, stretching to almost 50,000 kilometers, with only one interruption - 159 kilometers long crossing is Central to South America. The scenes around us are thrilled us - right side were fenced huge sand dunes which would not embarrass the Sahara, and on the left is a cliff that fell to the troubled Pacific Ocean. The driver was calm, cheerful, netih and unconvincing - inspired confidence. qlap mall cineplex Just what we needed driving between two fires, especially when we go a few miles past the truck overturned qlap mall cineplex on its side, with half the cargo fallen over a cliff.
But the cliffs were soon behind us so we could breathe a little and relax in the desert landscape. I had no idea that I would find the desert in Peru. Nor have I had no idea that Lima, after Cairo, the largest city in the world built in the desert.
With driver we, who does not speak a word of English, had free lessons of Spanish - another benefit that comes with hitch-hiking! Mare is hablala Spanish much better than me, though he was behind the eight-month wandering in this part of the world a few years ago, so I mostly listened and absorbed. Learn Spanish was one of the reasons of arrival in South America, although it might be more difficult than expected - I'm not counting that I have beside me lass with whom I can talk on our way, and therefore can not be forced to use non-stop local language.
Halfway to the destination we stopped in the Peruvian macho in order to try ceviche - a local specialty and pride of the nation, which is made from fresh raw fish fillets, TOCANA in limetinom juice and served with onions, corn, sweet potatoes and a lot more, depending where are the restaurant. qlap mall cineplex Our rating - unusual, but very fine!
And here we tried the famous recipe to choose destinations that we visit - as we have from Lima to Mancora (places in the north of Peru where we volunteer a couple of weeks) had about 1200 kilometers, qlap mall cineplex we have divided time into three parts (depending on countries, hitchhiking on average transition qlap mall cineplex between 200 and 500 miles a day), to see which cities are on the road, find some interesting people on CouchSurfing, send them e-mails, some of them have agreed to host us in their homes, and that's qlap mall cineplex it. It is necessary to make a minor planning, internetiziranja, but the dose of relaxation - you never know what's at the last minute can change ...
James and Gigi were greeted in front of his apartment, where they are just beginning to work - a few weeks ago on the street start making tacos, and as James American, called them Tacos El Gringo. Soon the word spread around town, and now they already had well-established business. When I tried this Mexican specialty, and I knew why. James is in his free time he and juggling, so when he's bored or need some money, take accessories (from the shuttle to a machete), went to the first intersection and in the breaks between the green lights on the scoreboard earn a living.
Sami town is not something sensational - one of the largest fishing qlap mall cineplex ports in the country, Central Market is colorful and full of bustle, and everything takes place around the main square - Plaza de Armas, which is actually the name of each main square in almost all cities in Peru. In the evening we had our bench, smiling, we refused to sellers of various sweets, talked with the girl with
