Yesterday I went to bed really early. I slept until 4/5am, which is long since I was already in bed at 7/8pm. Shortly after 6 I went down for breakfast and was unfortunately disappointed. Nothing was set up. It's a bit stupid when the hotel says breakfast starts at 6. But 5 minutes later I was able to drink coffee and tea. That's half the battle. Otherwise the breakfast would be very good. It's buffet. And there are a lot. Fruit, rolls, toast, cold cuts, various jams, eggs, various juices, various yoghurt. You could also put ham, cheese, onions and peppers in the egg. There were also banana pancakes. I'm sure I've forgotten something, but it's a great breakfast considering the conditions here in Peru. So I had a hearty breakfast. Then I went back to the room and lay down. And then decided not to do anything big today. I'm always conflicted because I want to take advantage of the vacation and also be able to chill at home, but I decided to do it anyway. That's why I went out and walked around a bit to a viewing platform where I took a break. I read and juggled a bit. Then I went down to the main square. The weather was changeable but dry. At the main square I met another couple from a trip to Paracas. The place is really nice, but you get chatted up every 2 minutes about shoes, buying ice cream, offering a tour and everything else. That's really annoying. And there are women everywhere offering massages. Then I went to the market again and then chose a pizza shop and got a medium pizza. It was very tasty and well topped, but unfortunately there were no fresh mushrooms and the price of around €8 is a lot. Afterwards I got Queso Helado, an ice cream. It says cheese in the name, but there is no cheese in it. Then I walked a bit through the streets. I was thinking about going to a church, but it's annoying that they charge admission everywhere. So I decided against it and went to the hotel. I'm going to relax a bit here. And then go out again later to get something to eat and then try to go to bed early because I'm being picked up from the hotel at 3 a.m. Then I'm driven to the desert and do a little hike there. I'm curious...
