Peru Day 1: Lima arrival

Edited highlights edition until I get back to Blighty.
  • Business class rules - the sleeping chair is the best, pity Iberia have lousy food and in-flight entertainment.
  • Saw the mighty Amazon river - it was Amazoning(sic)
  • Lots of banners for waiting Peruvian family at exit doors of airport. Our rep let us in to some local culture and possibly some snobbery.
  • Peruvian roads are a mixture of potholes, smooth surfaces and full-on cobble streets
  • Hotel very plush with flat screen telly, about 60 channels, 18 floors and a pianist in reception - Casa Andina Private Collection
  • Jetlag got us at 4:30am and decided to get up at 6am
  • Saw 5 parrots flying past window after the smog had lifted - could see about 30 metres
  • Going to do some local exploring in the safe bit of town then some Colonnial trip at 2pm
  • Early start tomorrow for jungle trip - 6am for pickup

If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go.
