    Say, 'Sacrifices!'

    We have arrived in in Lima safely! Although, we nearly didn't get out of Santiago as Carly (in true character) forgot her passport in the toilet! So ensued a ten minute freak-out...

    Upon arriving in Lima airport we were greeted by a daunting crowd of Peruvians and a local band! A driver was waiting for us and took us to our hostel in …

    Lima - at last!

    8 photos

    It was a rather lengthy trip to Lima from London (via Madrid) - 3am start, arriving in Lima (at last!)at 6:30pm local time (12:30am in London). I was absolutely shattered - "Zombie" (Cranberries) playing on the radio in the taxi en route to the hostel was quite apt! The taxi journey was an interesting introduction to Lima - the traffic was crazy - …

    First Full Day in the Peruvian Tourist Style

    2 photos

    Today we got to sleep in to 9:00 AM being woken up by the people in the room next door moving out. We quickly got dressed because we realised that the breakfast buffé finished at 10:00 AM, and it took us half and hour to get ready; brushed our hair, had a shower and got dressed.

    After the tastiest breakfast ever we left and called a taxi …

    Lima and Miraflores

    23 photos

    Hola again! Well we have made it to Peru after an easy two flights from Cancun Mexico. We are currently flaking it in our hostel room in Cuzco as we are over 11,000 feet above sea level and the altitude is raping us! Also a 22 hour bus trip here wouldn't have helped. Lucky we were in a 5 star coach. Lima was pretty good. Not overly exciting and 3 …

    For our final day, we opted for a short city tour in the afternoon but spent the morning navigating around Miraflores checking out the views and sites. Miraflores is a beautiful town with its views of the ocean and architecture as well as great places to eat. We spent about 5 hours walking through the city checking out Larcomar (a big commercial …

    Lima - The Almost-Skipped City

    5 photos

    And now, the city of Lima. Frommer's refers to it as a "mostly unlovely capital" with “Peru’s blistering poverty more apparent here than anywhere else” – but “if you skip Lima altogether, you’ll miss a vital part of what is Peru today.” With that in mind, to be honest our only reason for stopping was a …

    The dump that is Lima

    3 photos

    I arrived in Lima exhausted after my flight from Madrid. I got in at 7am so I knew I had to stay up all during the day. My hostel was near the ocean so I had a wander around. The fact that Lima is on the coast sounds great except for the fact there is a permanent fog. I found a restaurant, or rather they found me. Once I was at my table I actually …
