I have finally landed in Lima, Peru early this morning and managed to catch an hour's sleep before heading down to meet the rest of the group. Didn't want to disturb their sleep so went down early just to try my luck. Had a good rest during the stopover at LAX and got to meet good old Len for dinner at the Cheese Cake Factory before flying off. The Godiva Chocolate Cheese Cake was absolutely sinfully delicious!
My first day at Lima was quite alright with us making a recce trip to one of the venues. It was actually quite tiring to walk around the whole place in high heels! Managed to take loads of photos but didn't get to speak to anyone dealing with the area I am interested in though.
Managed to come back to the hotel to freshen up a bit before heading out again for lunch and some souvenir hunting at the Indian Market. Bought some stuff here and there and was so exhausted by the end of it that I was literally trying to keep my eyes open and my legs walking. The hotel room, although wonderfully big and comfortable, didn't come with a electric kettle. So I was really quite dehydrated the whole day.
Was planning to join the group for dinner at the nearby mall but in the end decided against it as I was nearly falling asleep clearing emails and was thinking there was no way I could walk out of the hotel again. Hence, despite of the expensive and not too appealing menu, I ordered room service so that I could just hide in my room for the evening.
And... really wanted to post some photos but for some strange reasons, while I managed to load all my official photos on the computer, the personal ones, which I took with the better Lumix camera, just couldn't load. Hence, here's a boring photo of me at the recce venue. The better ones taken on the streets are still in the memory card. :(
On this last day of my life, I think it's wonderful to be part of all these but I also miss home a lot especially when I'm feeling super super super tired.

Babe, I'm so glad to see that your hard work has somehow paid off. It's wonderful that you are juggling both work and studies at the same time. While sometimes the going may get tough, be proud of yourself for being able to take it all in your stride! All the best!
Lurv, Deb
