$225.40!!???

This was our reaction tonight when we got our ticket back for our dinner. $225.40 for five people, thats a lot of money! That worked out to $45 per person, I have never spent this much money one one meal in my life!

Then we took a step back and remembered we were in Peru. Not $ 225.40, but 225.40 Soles! That means there is an exchange rate of about 2.76 soles to the American dollar. Which works out to about $81 for five people, $16 per person. Amazing, especially considering what we ate.

Here is the meal:

5 Pisco Sours
1 Cervezca
5 HUGE sandwiches. Think snadwiches the size of a newborn. (each of which came with a very large side of fries)
5 Churros (1 chocolate filled, 2 with caramel, 1 with vanilla, and 1 plain)
1 ice cream
3 cups of coffee with Baileys

Gotta Love Peru!

  1. Eamonn had fun last night putting random numbers in the money exchange rate calculator.... 500.00 US looks like a lot more soles. xoxo
