hanging around (one horse town)

Luckily the ants moved out....seemed to realise that getting executed by being squashed with a tissue was not the best fun! Bus is not till 9pm tonight...going to Arequipa by "business class" bus. We arrive at 5am, so about an hour before it gets light. But comparing this with the buses we´ve been on so far, they have all been an hour late so not too concerned. Had to check out of room by 12.30 so this means that I only have 6 and a half more hours to kill. Hmm. Went to very nice restaurant last night with a Dutch couple, and an English couple from Ealing - instead of decorating the walls they had gone for letting travellers write all over the walls...what Watford Girls Grammar school were doing there I don´t know. Then a small Peruvian boy with absent parents that one of the boys had befriended (was looking through the window as we were eating, so they invited him in to give him chips) finished off everyone´s meals. Really really quickly. I have never seen a person eat so fast. They were big portions too, so there was quite a lot left over. The ripe smell of him meant that actually, it was good that he ate fast!
