Trip Report 21 -22 May - Lima, Peru (rest and maintenance period)
Lima is a big city and it is easy to get lost. Drivers are nuts. My bike was at the KTM dealer for a new rear tire. $190 for rubber and $25 for install and clean. I should be good for the approaching offroading in Central Peru and Bolivia. Looking forward to getting away from the big city and the desert coastline.
Attempted to play poker at the Majestic Casino which is attached to the Marriot. No luck getting a game. They had a 4 day tournament going with a $250 K guarantee but I was not wanting to commit to remaining in town until Monday. It allowed 3 rebuys and an add-on which could get expensive at $1000 per pop. I was hoping for a cash game but all 9 tables were taken with tourney action and after a 2 hour wait I returned to my hostel, no richer but no poorer except for the sushi I had while waiting for the game that never was at the Marriot.
I expect a tough slog ride tomorrow with things improving and getting interesting as we approach Machu Pichu in a few days. Other travellers at the hostel just loved the area so I expect it should be fun.
