2nd daaaay (bus to pisco and evening in pisco)

Sorry it's taken me this long to write but we've been kinda busy and the other hotel didn't have computers...anyway so I left you at Lima. That same day we got on a bus directed to Pisco at about 1.30 and we got in Pisco at about 6. The bus was a public bus and we all sat at theback together as to avoid anything getting stolen etc..as people get on and off the bus every 15 minutes about. I sat in the far corner at the back by the window so I would get the best view but also noooo one could get to me...and my bag that I was holding onto for deeeeaaaar life haha. I was so surprised at the difference there is in Lima one side is dessert and mountains and the other is lush sea with palm trees very very odd!! and Daniel our guide (he's so funny he is like an over grown peruvian teddy bear with a lisp) told us that Lima is the 2nd most desert city in the world (after Cairo of course)!!! unfortunately on the bus a woman got her bag stolen (the canadian one who annoys me intensely because her husband thinks hes indiana jones) Anyways so when we got to Pisco we settled down in our hotel which was soooo hto and sticky but not bad I'm still sharing a room with Rachel everywhere we go and we get our own bathroom which is niiice. The place obviously wasn't as nice as the first night which was luuuussssh but still not as bad as hostels!!! Anyway so Pisco is a small sea side town which is pretty much destroyed because of the earthquake in 2007 and it is also the place where PISCO is madeee the south american brandy and Peru and Chile's drink. We settled down and got ready for dinner..we went to a loooovely little restaurant and I of course had the fish (its by the seaside so of course its going to be fresh) me lindsay and jess had the same which was a mixto frito so calamari and prawns and bits of fish and octopus fried with sm sweet potatos on the side and then on top (it was a massssive dish but apparently a started have no idea HOW) there was a MASSSSSIVE CRAB. which we all looked at with erm..worried eyes and perplexed eyes hahaha...JESS became a crab expert and managed to crack it all...me and lindsay had bigger problems but I can tell you it was a FUNNNNNNYYY SIGHT. as i was trying to crack it desperately sending crab bits flying EVERYWHERE. But the fish was spectaculllaaaar so so yummy and at the dinner I also tried Inca Kola (haha) the colour of this soft drink is BRIGHT YELLOW. and it tastes like chewing gum haha but seriously it was good. After dinner some of us decided to go for a little cocktail (the german girls opted out - they are slightly quiet) Anyways we ended up going to the POSHEST hotel in the world it was gorgeous with palm trees everywhere and so so beautiful all white buildings and SOSO POSH the cocktail bar was amaaazing aswell... with sofas outside on the deck and there was even a pier in the hotel amazing! Most of us had passion fruit pisco sours and they were lush lush lush but strong strong strong and I was tipsy with one drink. We all walked home and went to bed..unfortunately there was some sort of celelbration and they amde soo much noise in the hote...i used my earplugs and even though they didnt drown the noise completely i fell fast asleep pretty quickly. anyway im being antisocial and lindsay and jess have gone somewhere (I'm so happy they are here because seriously they are fantaaastic and so firnedly and funny and I get on with them like a house ON FIRE.) I'll tell you all about Pisco and, sand buggying (awesome) and getting to nazca tomorrow..I miss you all so much xxxxxxx
