Thanks to loads of preparation and correct tactic selection, our meeting with Valerio and the Ministry of Employment went about as well as we could have expected.
He has shuffled off into the distance with the people who came to help him thinking he is an idiot too.
Tomorrow Omar starts with us, he has vast experience as a waiter.
We will see how he goes but at least in the short term I should make it to Lima.
Simone added to our problems this morning by not turning up to look after Salvador, it turns out she was 8 hours away in Puno.
She may well believe that 8 hours away is not far enough the next time she sees us.
Salvador himself has a bit of a temperature so Esther is trying to get him off to sleep
