Lima to the north

So, the crazy bus journey came to an end...21 hours of corners! The first thing that I did when I got off that bus was find a loo to vomit in...again. I think coming down from altitude and the zig-zag journey from hell combined to make me feel like death. We decided the best thing to do was to go and see a movie:2012. We were sure the movie would end in plenty of time for us to head back to the bus depot for our next bus up to Trujillo. Brilliant action-packed movie. Credits start rolling, check the watch...30 minutes before our scheduled departure...uh oh! RUN! Adrenaline still pumping from the excitement of the movie, we dash into the street to find a cab ready to zoom us rapido to the bus. First car started arguing over price...and had a tiny engine. Next! Big car, rapido? Big grin. let's GO! Craziest car journey of my life. The traffic in Lima is nuts at the best of times, never mind when you taxi driver thinks he's Jenson Button. Yikes. We made the bus and passed out.
