Well, we started our trip to Peru with a Pisco Sour and we’ve ended it with a Pisco Sour. After an uneventful flight, we’re now back in Lima, ready to fly out to Chile in the morning.
Things we’ve learned in Peru include:
- The number pad on credit card machines is in a different order to all others I’ve seen. Since I only remember my PIN by the shape it makes on the pad, this can be a problem.
- Every car we’ve been in has had a manual transmission.
- Peru has around 3,000 varieties of quinoa.
- And 4,000 varieties of potatoes.
- Baby alpaca wool doesn’t come from baby alpacas.
- They must export all the best coffee, because we haven’t had a decent cup yet.
- Peru has the longest traffic light countdowns we’ve ever seen, frequently over 120 seconds.
- A matrimonial room isn’t the same as the honeymoon suite. It just means there’s a double bed.
Thanks for everything Peru, it’s been great!
