Ahoyhoy,
Well good news. I have spent a lot of money but hopefully have what I need if not what I want. Barbacci motors were open after our last chat and I´ve aquired two Continental TKC 80 rears, unknown brand of front with a decent looking tred pattern, 5L of oil, chain lube and a spare front inner tube. This had cost me 500 pounds but these were the only rear tyres to fit Sir Humphrey I could find so what else could I do? At least it was a nice shop with helpful staff.
I lugged it all home and needed a shower and a rest afterwards:
I have subsequently gone out for a mooch and confirmed that I am in Miraflores, the new posher heart of Lima. It is very clean and relatively expensive looking so the guidebook got one thing right.
Alas I am swinging between feeling hot but well and really quite sick. A chicken empanada with fire sauce seems to have helped temporarily. I look forward to the day when I don´t need to assess my fuild balance each time I pee.
I think, as it would necessitate a 15km journey, I´ll have to skip Lima´s sights and focus on a bit of rest and recuperation for the slog up the Pan-American highway tomorrow and maybe a bit if guerilla beach camping (no, not a silver backed ape prancing along the sand in expensive clothes).
TTFN,
Tigger
