Day 1 - Nov 22, 2005 - The Taxi's in Lima, Peru
My first trip in a Peruvian taxi was quite an "eye-opening" experience. After the doorman to our hotel found us a taxi we hopped in to the dilapidated old vehicle. Just before getting in we made sure to confirm the price of 10 Soles ($3 US) for the 20 minute ride (prices will be much higher if not negotiated in advance). As we hopped into the vehicle the doorman made sure to lock the passenger door and motioned for us to lock the passenger door on the other side of the vehicle. Inside the vehicle there were no seat belts, the taxi sign was not on top of the vehicle but rather on the dashboard in front of him. It looked like it may have been the driver's side-job on his way...
