Peru

Landed in Peru 8.30 in the morning.
TACA airlines, pretty efficient, from Sao paulo.

Peru never ceases to amaze: an ecelectic mix of all kinds of people. The most dominant are the mestizos, the mixed kind.

Peruvian traffic is as funny as it gets in South America. Big nosed buses and carts. And yes, after weeks, saw a Maruti Suzuki car (made in India) and felt close to home.

Had a Peruvian corn drink, forget the name, but was extremely invigorating. Also had an Inca cola in the morning, the yellow coloured Peruvian cola that is everywhere.

Lunch was at a museum-turned restaurant: rice, mushrooms and potatoes. The museum has artefacts from as old as 1200 BC, and can easily be labelled the Peruvian version of Indian Kama sutra.
