my flight out of Lima was at 10:10.. it was another very bumpy ride.. i wonder if it is those mountains? i'm so very glad that i don't have to take a plane any more.. not before i leave for home. but the scenery was beautiful! took some pictures too.. i'm in progress of downloading some.. hopefully i manage to get to all of them. flight was 50 minutes.. by noon i was in the cab and 5 minutes later i arrived in my hotel and by 1pm i was in down-town eating :D
my hotel is super nice.. the room looks kinda like a big closet though, but it has everything one needs: nice and clean shower, big bed, table, closet, big mirror, toilet of course, window :), big fan and a cable TV. hotel is about 5-10 minute walk from the center square so very convenient as well.
as much as i've seen in the last 2.5 hours i'd say that cusco is an absolute paradise compared to lima. it is full of tourists which is nice... yea, i wouldn't have never ever thought i'd say that ever :) but i have seen so little yet so i will speak/write more later on.
altitude sickness - well.. the first 2 hours have been fine. i do feel a bit uneasy.. like it is difficult to just be or breathe... but nothing too bad. gotta just take it easy and slow. i have had 2 coca teas already and i'm munching on some 100% natural coca candy :D
today is the day of the festival... i have not seen any parade or anything yet.. it is 2:40pm so perhaps it will start later on.. no idea.
and i'm getting some fun ideas of how to spend my 4 weeks here in Peru :D .. i'm thinking that i will minimize my time in lima and will maximize my time in cusco and lake titicaca area. maria told me that nazca, ica and other coastal cities will be only max 1 day per city so i won't hurry over there too soon. and it seems like there is so much to do around cuzco (sometimes they write the city name like that too.. no idea which is the correct way).
but now i will get to my e-mail, pictures and perhaps will even log on to MSN for the fun of it :)

Tere,Travel-Dea!
Loodan, et festivali aeg saabub tasa- hilju.Selline rahvas oskab elu nautida. Ameerikas oli toiduks pizza. Mida saad eineks Peruus tarvitada? Kas on palju erinevaid puuvilju nagu Tais? Kas hommikueine on hotelli paketis? Mida pakutakse ? Kas said tervise korda? Naudi kaunist loodust! Lugemiseni! Marika & Priit
tere ka teile :)
tervis on mul t2itsa korras, kurta pole midagi... trepist yles on ainult veidi raske k6ndida.. ja neid treppe siin jagub :)
selles hotellis kus praegu olen on hommikus88k hinna sees: puuviljad, mysli, r8stsai, muna, peekon jne. t2itsa korralik s88k on... 2.juulil aga vahetan hotelli ja seal ei tea kuidas toiduga lood on. puuvilju on siin mitmeid, kuid mitte nii palju kui Tais, suhteliselt tavalisi asju leidub: ananass, papaya, arbuus, banaan, apelsin.
s88giks pakutakse siin erinevalt valmistatud merisiga... seda ma aga proovinud veel ei ole. s6in kana, mis on suht tavaline ja sarnane meie grillitud kanale ja siis s6in andide toitu: lihaga t2idetud piprad... v2ga hea oli. kohe peale internetis istumist l2hen j2lle s88ma, eks siis n2e, mis taldrikule satub.
olge tublid. dea
