Well we are back in Lima. Lima is very much just another city. Its got grey cloud hanging over it 24 hours a day and seems to maintain a constant 17 degrees. How the whole population isnt depressed 24/7 I will never know. A very average city that we both look forward to getting out of in a couple of days time when Craig and I head for the beaches of Costa Rica where I will be tanning up like there's no tomorrow. (Ok funny bastards, write your jokes about me and tanning now - come on, I know you wanna!).
Actually, what Lima does have is a nice little Brazilian bar that a few of us from the Peru tour checked out a couple of nights ago. Great tasting drinks and really good music had us all up there dancing with the Brazilians. Those guys have more rhythm in one big toe than all of us whiteys combined but we did our best and had a lot of fun doing it.
The last few days of our tour were spent in a jungle lodge in the Amazon. We went to Monkey Island with lots of monkeys that made Craig and I miss the animal park back in Bolivia, did a freekin huge walk through the jungle to The Lost Lake that was obviously not lost at all, saw an awesome night sky with next to no light pollution to spoil it and got bitten by hopefully non-malarial mozzies.
I've added 5 more photos. Check 'em out:

This really should be called TheGreatHatTour2007.blogspot... such great hats.
Hey, if you're looking for random beach areas in Costa Rica, go for Samara beach. It's on the other side from all the main ones and is much quieter and less Americany... It's also got way wicked lizards and pelicans and howler monkeys everywhere.
Yeah, I know. Its a cool hat! :)
I think that Samara is actually the place we are aiming for. Good to know it gets the Adamanator approval!
