Here is the Cruzero Sol bus that we took from Lima to Paracas. I don't know
what Michael thought I was getting him into, but he was pleasantly
surprised. Guess he imagined chickens and pigs and lord know what while the
buses are actually quite luxurious: pillows, blankets, light snack, movies
and wireless internet access. Yes, that is what I wrote. Wireless internet
access. In fact, there is even a little internet business office in the
front of the bus in case you want to send emails, etc but don't have your
own computer with you. (The other photo is the Paracas bus station.)
Exceptionally glad we elected not to drive this route ourselves. It is just
a world of nothingness through the desert. There's an occasional tiny town
but that is it. Even Paracas turned out to be minuscule though they are
clearly preparing for a huge influx of tourism dollars what with
construction everywhere, paver brick walkways and piazzas....starting to
look like Puerto Vallarta. We had a couple of hours to kill so we walked
into town to have a quick bite (but not too much pre-flight) and then caught
a cab to the airport (which is much nicer just small).
