South America Part 13 – Peru Fallout

I can´t believe that I forgot to mention a couple of things about Peru.

Here were a couple of fantastic examples of Spanglish that we encountered in Peru.

The first memorable example was on LAN Peru – wherby everytime we landed – the flight attendant in their diatribe would announce “We appreciate your preference.” Period.

Also – here are a couple of gems from the Hotel Balsa Wood Inn – Hotel Regulations in Puno:

“7. Pets are request not to entertain in their rooms.”

“8. Guests are requestr not to entertain in their room.”

“9. The hotel has the right to ask the check out of customers I they do or support some mad behaviours against the quitness and moral of the Hotel.”

…and no – none of those were typos.

Also – on our last day in Puno – we walked down “Tout Street” for the last time. We didn´t get touted – but as we were leaving tout street – an old man shouted “¡Gringos!” at us. There is a first for everything.

During our time at Lima Airport – we managed to have that Peruvian traditional cuisine of McDonalds – except it seemed to taste a whole lot better than the s$$$ at home. I bought it first – and then sat down with my meal. Ant took a picture (wanting evidence of my weakness) – but then subsequently bought a meal at McDonalds…

I spent most of the time asleep on our flight to BA (Buenos Aires) – but accidentally woke up for about 30 minutes and watched Bewitched (the Movie). Ant had watched it to our first flight to Lima and said the whole premise of the movie was that Nicole Kidman could wiggle her nose like the original Bewitched could. Sounds like a “half a joke” sort of movie.

Anyway - next post - ¡Hola from Argentina!
