Bowler hats VS Boaters? The Peruvian experience

Arequipa, Peru

I miss fashion, so i was glad to notice on my bus journey crossing from Copacabana in Bolivia to Puno in Peru, that the Bolivian/Peruvian ladies enjoy different types of hats. Im going to look into the reason for each selection of hat, being so random im sure i wont be disappointed by the result of the research. Bolivian women go for the bowler hat perched on the very tip of the head (much like Mr Benn), im still very interested how they get their has to stay on as there is no evidence of a clip or glue. Another avenue of research maybe. The Peruvians prefer the more casual boater.... These are the kind of questions that float around my mind in an attempt to pass time on the oh so horrfic ordeals i call public transport. A far cry from the full Cama bus mentioned in previous blogs.

So Basingstoke buses are not so bad after all then Laura! As the saying goes you have to take the good with the bad.
