my first day to be continued...

OMG STRESSSSSS.... basically had to get a cab but I couldn't find ANY even though the receptionist was like oh its soo easy they are just outsideeeee so I was like oh okay. Before I was told by my American friend that you had to check that the cabs had the numbers and letters of their number plates also on the actual cab itself. so anyway im walking around like a loooon sandwiched between two rucksaks all the peruvians are like OKAAAAAAAY when they see me a child actually stopped and LAUGHED. so yeaaah feeling greaaaaat...anyway can't find any cabs watsoever and´so I see someone who looks sort of official and I say im looking for a cab where can I get one? and hes like walk that way its safer so im like oooookay i do and i get onto a main road where taxis are passign by the first one stops I ask him how much blabla but he seems really dodgy to me and my gut feeling is telling me DO NOT GET IN. his sign isn't even up and i couldnt see any numbers so I was freeking out a bit and he was like get in get in get in and I asked to see his licence and he said no so I closed the door and I was like screwwwww this i am sooo not getting in that cab.. he drives off thank GOD. and I am still left sandwiched between two massive bags looking like a fool another cab drives over and another one i run to the one where there are the numbers on the side as I know its an official taxi and its a realllly reaaallly cute little man with no teeth and I do not understand a word he says. it takes us about an hour to get to the hotel cos he doesnt know where hes going i get out everytime he stops cos hes like we´re here and so i get all my bags on again but nooooooooo unfortuntely not hahaha so I get back into the cab and we end up gooing round some more we stopped in total about 6 times and asked I cant remember how many people BUT LOTS!!! anyway FOUND IT finally and its a lush hotel I'm sharing a room with a girl from australia who has been travelling for 15 months!!!! and is 28 but she is soooo nice I'm sure we're going to get on...and she advised me to book into a tour which leaves from my hotel and takes u all around lima and finishes around 6 and 6.30 is when my meeting is with all the STA people which is niiiice...soooo I'm just waiting in the lobby for the tour to pick me up. and then I'm off around Lima.
