Paddington's creator Michael Bond once said in an interview (I'm too modest to say who it was with) that he chose Darkest Peru as the bear's home because it sounded so far away.
Given the events of my bus journey into Peru, I would say very far away indeed. Imagine the following happening on the National Express to Manchester:
- the driver taking a detour into dodgy-looking backstreets in order to drop off a package
- people hailing the coach on the street and begging the driver to be let on
- three burly blokes getting on and confiscating some suspicious-looking boxes stashed at the back
- a fight ensuing between the woman who owned them and the men. Guess who won
THING I DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE TODAY
Don't try and get some sleep on a bus in Peru
