Hannah's travel diary

Smells like...

Well, 2 in one day isn't bad, and I'm referring of course to blog posts. Killing some time for now as the rest of the group appear to have been held up for a few hours. I've just been to get something to eat but have now returned to the hotel as it's only 6.30pm and it's already dark, don't facy walking the streets round here by myself! This afternoon I went for a walk around the Miraflores area which is supposedly one of the nicer parts, there are some pretty houses amongst the decrepit concrete blocks, and the seafront is nice too - there were people out surfing and lots of grassy spaces. I had to move hotels as we're in a different one tonight for the tour proper, but the guide came and got us from the previous one - he seems very nice and appears to know his stuff which helps, I suppose. Almost got myself thrown out of the supermarket down the road for taking a photo of some cans of food, I expect I will post the photo when I get back but suffice to say, it's a rather inappropriate choice of brand name for tinned fish that I assume doesn't mean the same round here as it does in the UK...

Went back to the supermarket for dinner this evening as they have a cafe above it and it was a bit less intimidating than some of the other restaurants. Had some roast chicken and rice and a bit of cake for about 2 quid, assuming I've worked out the conversion correctly. Hopefully it will be pretty cheap living here, all the more money to spend on proper shopping. Have to leave at 7am tomorrow, they were on about a morning call at 5.30am but I'm thinking more like shower tonight and get up at 6.30, which is still hideously early for a holiday as far as I'm concerned, but can't be helped. Off to bed now, more later...
