Luxury to Lima

Last night took the night bus from Piura to Lima. Wow.. now that was what i call luxury. I went in a lush bus, with leather seats, almost fully reclining...on the top floor.
We had a stewardess and we got served dinner and breakfast.. all very lush.. they really ned to upgrade more buses to be like this one!! - i was truely travelling in style.
I arrived in Lima, and all the bloody bus stations are so far apart.. i had to take a taxi to another station to find a bus to Cusco. Its a bloody pain, and have to wait 6 hours for my bus to depart.. and i'm hoping i will be travelling in the same luxury... especially as my trip is 8 hours longer than the previous one.
I had to laugh at the security on these buses though!! i think it is slightly excessive!! it is like going through security in America. You have to first show your passport or ID with your ticket. They then take your FINGERPRINT! and then you have to go through metal detectors, while your bag gets inspected.. its CRAZY!!!
Similar thing happened on my bus to Piura, but i think their budget was a little lower, coz the security guy just came through the bus with a video camera, and filmed evberyomnes face for a few seconds... crazy stuf!!
Also--- i learn today, apparently i am not speaking spanish out here.. its castelano.- people are so fussy!xx
write again in 24hours or more
