After we'd said goodbye to the horses and while we were walking towards our next site, SexyWoman, Chris decided it best if we stop for a quick beer. We approached someone's mud house/shop where we'd spotted a shiny new poster on the door advertising a big beer for 6 soles.
When we received our beer the shop keeper, an old man who must've been in his 70s, quoted his price at 8 soles despite his poster saying otherwise. When questioned about this by Chris, the man explained, 'Ah, yes yes, but, you see, that poster is just propaganda. The real price is 8'!! We found this so funny that we gave him the money anyway. It was the kind of thing we'd not heard since India when cheeky Indians used to quote us all sorts of prices despite different things being written down. We sat in his back yard and he even brought us a cup of chicha which had been freshly made that day...
