Rush In Rurre

The last night of the trip we all met up and had fantsatic food at the Luna Lounge. I got chatting to Ivan, and it turns out we love the same music. Zep, Santana, Purple, Rush...you get the picture.

Ivan then disapears for a bit, and then comes back with a big smile on his face - the next song sounds real familiar - it´s Rush - Fly By Night - one of my fav tracks.

Awesome. Here we are rocking to Rush in Rurre:



The next day I had a lazy "hang in a hammock and read kind of day". I also decided to try chewing coca leaves. Here´s the bag, along with the ash that extracts the cocaine:



Basically you lightly chew the leaves for 40 minutes or so, then stick in the ash.

You don´t get a rush from it (it´s very very very mild - so don´t worry folks). All that happens is that your mouth goes completely numb - your tongue tingles, but you can´t feel it - it´s weird. It also curbs feelings of hunger, tiredness, and helps with altitude sickness. I´ve tried it a few times since, but you don´t always get the same effect.

Wandering into town I bumped into Ed and Simon (from OZ), and we walked up to the Mirador to see the view and then went for food and a few drinks. A top night out.





A top night out.
