Intrepid Journeys - Peru (Ewen Gilmour)

Television (Full Length Episode) – 2004

My taxi driver, Eduardo, can't speak English but he sees me as a sitter for an attack and is keen to hang out with me to make sure I'm alright. He ignored the fact I couldn't speak a word of Spanish, giving me what was either a potted history of Peru or the football results. I'm not sure which but I nodded a lot and hoped that I didn't offend.

The currency is the sole. I'll get two sole for my kiwi dollar. It's like being in a country that has fifty percent off everything.

There's more crime than a West Auckland flea market and vulnerable gringo tourists on their first day out are the main target.
