Next stop Callao in Peru for a four-day break. On arrival there were the all-important official calls carried out by the captain as he paid courtesy visits to senior Peruvian officers, whose port authority laid on buses for the ship’s company so they could move between the harbour and the sights of nearby Lima.
A dozen officers from the Peruvian Naval Academy visited York for a discussion about dealing with the scourge of drug-running at sea and, on a less serious note, some 40 youngsters from Lima orphanage Casa Wasi Warmi were entertained with a tea party and a tour of the ship.
On sailing from Callao, York spent a day in company with the veteran Peruvian frigate BAP Montero. Several Yorkies sailed aboard the Montero and six Peruvians, well you get the picture.
Congratulations to both sides for a entertaining game of football there is no need to say anything more

Jul 17th, 2011 - 03:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina and Brazil played horrible, though Argentina took the penalties better compare to Brazil. I hope Peru or Uruguay wins the cup or Venezuela, now that would be a bigger suprise.

Jul 18th, 2011 - 09:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0@ ElaineB, nope... but if I would have chosen a Cheeky bet, I should have bet Venezuela to beat Chile. Before yesterday's match, head-to-head was 15-1 in Chilean favour.
