Lima

Suddenly we are in a very different country, the feel is happier and the imigration officers wear suits and not uniforms. When you go though imigration they say 'welcome to Peru', I like that.
Lima was a big contast to Caracas because whereas there it had been very green and humid, this was very dry and on the edge of a desert.

The show did not start untill 10:45 pm, so we got quite tired during the evening, but once the show had started it was fine and full of energy as usual.
This show felt much more confident and fun, than before, the crowd was much bigger and sang along a lot - in some cases they felt louder than the P.A.

We also had added CO2 with 'Steam' from the fire extinguishers, though they didn't seem to be that new and died before the end of the song.

This time we got a carpet put all along the front of the stage to stop Peter slipping, which helped a lot, though maybe too much as Peter likes to slide a bit while on stage, just not right off it.

So the show was good but it feels like we need a few more to really get going.
