Food Fantastic Food

We were totally unprepared for all the food and entertainment. 10.00am there was a lesson in how to make a Pisco Sour and of course as much Pisco Sour as you can drink…. one was truly enough. Then came the dancers and singers. All the while the train rumbled and rocked along the rickety tracks through wonderful countryside of streams, waterfalls, plains and haphazard towns. Women in traditional dress who were minding llamas or sheep, waved shyly to us. Surreal.

Then it was lunch, as always in Peru beautifully prepared and presented and accompanied by rather nice Chillean wine. Time to relax but no… our hostess who had first of all booked us on the train, then served us lunch now mysterious turned into a fashion model and sashayed and swayed along the narrow carriage with dubious Peruvian fashions.

Again the only word that comes to mind is surreal!
