Taxi

3 official things to do

1 walk to the Bridge of Sighs. 6 km away and we couldnt find it. It was hidden beneath all the construction as it was being refurbished.


2 find the Hard Rock Cafe. It was actually there. Lunch and a hat later it was time to leave

However I stumbled upon some sports stores with cheap shirts. Only got 5. In marathon it cost 257 soles. She put in 275 and then was typing in more numbers, hopefully reversing her mistake. I guess I will find out when I check my balance.

3 visit the Larco Museum. Of course getting there was part of the entertainment. Outside the Jockey Plaza (where we had lunch) there were taxis everywhere but nobody would take us across town. Luckily for us? lasts nights loser of the demolition derby was willing to pick us up. Half his dashboard was missing so we could see the engine from the back seat.


So he drove in circles, looked at our map, asked people on the street. Still no museum. Finally we got out, gave him half the fare and found another taxi. He got us there. The museum was as museums are. 

Getting back to the hotel after was a piece of cake. A good taxi and driver.

For dinner, the last remaining 7 of our group went to..... A restaurant attached to some recently found ancient ruins. We were all a bit under dressed but it was good and plentiful but Im still a little confused by my choice of steak, banana and black beans.
