Black and Blue shopping

Another day wasted in Lima, we didn´t do too much. We had more tamales for a late breakfast before getting a taxi to the American Airlines office for yet another flight change. We had planned on this wasting at least an hour but it only took a few minutes (which really we prefer, given the hassles we´ve had with changing flights) so we took another taxi to the Povolos Azules, Lima´s black market (even though ´azules´ means blue in Spanish) of stolen and illegitimate goods for sale. Naturally, the place was huge, full of stalls selling clothing, shoes, pirated CDs and DVDs and any electronic item you could ever hope for. We wandered around a bit, Nigel looked at some camera stuff, and then we left, not having purchased anything. Apparently the law enforcement turns a blind eye to these markets, probably because it´s where they do most of their shopping too.

When we got back, we used the internet a bit more, tried (and failed) to confirm our flights to Iquitos, had dinner and went to bed.
