ok, so its been a while since my last post, but in utter and complete honesty, I haven´t done anything in the past week worthy of your attention... so my fingers have remained still and the keyboard has gathered dust...

I applied for my Colombian visa on Monday... I did not make it to Quito, I´m still in Lima... I decided to stay in Lima and apply for my visa from here because:

• I like Lima, its good fun !
• I have not heard anything too positive about Quito, or indeed Ecuador, so I´m gonna give it the ol´ slip
• I can fly directly from here to Bogota... its cheap and its quick!!!
• I like Lima....its good FUN!

I feel kinda bad that of all the time I´m spending in Peru, I´m not seeing more of the country... but do you what, je ne care pas (as they say in France)... cos I´m spending a lot of time with Peruvians here and surely thats good for my cultural development too... and for mi espagnol as well.

I´m recharging my batteries here (and running them down again and recharging them again and running them down again)... and I´m mentally preparing myself for Colombia and its cultural richesse.

So throw me a frickin´ bone here... I´m meeting all these people who fly into Lima and have three weeks in Peru and whose days are filled with museums and other "wholesome" stuff... When I tell them that I´ve been in Lima for the past two weeks and I haven´t seen the inside of a museum here, they draw back in horror and gasp at my sloth.

Fook it NEway... Todays friday so its time again for our weekly pub-crawl (the official one)... Will update when I have my visa or anything exiting happens...
