After 21 hours of bus ride we finally made it to Lima. The bus company "Flores" was quite good and the journey more or less comfortable, although the seats on the photographs looked much larger than in reality...perhaps we have got used to it! In any case they gave us dinner and breakfast (although we still dont understand why they served coffee...

Hello, We headed out from Cusco just before lunch and 1hr later we were in Lima. Lima left no amazing memories but we are not city people. By the time we arrived I think we had already started to accept that our holiday had ended and thoughts drifted to the greeting our dogs will give us after 4 weeks away. Maybe we are are crazy people, it woul...

Just flew to Lima from Cuzco so that I could get a flight to the top of Peru, Tumbes! Had a nice 6 hours at the airport as well which is always a joy!! What else is there to do but eat?!?!?

This morning we left La Paz, on our way to Guayaquil, Ecuador for our conference. It was Glenn and Treena (our Bolivian reps) and Elisa and Amelia (our Paraguay reps) and myself. Elisa, on her crutches, hobbled along as we worked our way through the airport but managed to keep up pretty well. TACA is a wonderful airline (based in El Salvador) an...

Then back to Lima for the day before flying back to the States. BTW the air pollution was pretty bad, but we did go to the beach where people were surfing and they had amazing bluffs.

To uger i Peru. Ikke meget. Ikke nok. Vidunderligt smukt land. Wow for nogle folk, saa rumlige og venlige. Lidt mere turistet end jeg kunne lide, men alligevel ... ja, jeg kunne ikke finde ud af, om den aeldgamle tunge indianerkultur som gennemsyrer dem alle og man kan se i oejenkrogen paa dem, om Udtrykket... om det, at de bruger deres ustyrlig...

Made friends with 3 UK Guys at bus stn and shared taxi to Mina Flores. Was going to stay at Flying Dog but they knew the area and were going to Loki which was better. Ended up all in 1 dorm as no sgl sex rooms had bathroom and just us for $11AUD which is good in this tourist zone. Turned out great Kams, Tom and Howell took me out to Barancas - a...

We arrived into Lima last Thursday from Huaraz, 8 hours on a bus but it was very comfortable so no complaints. Lima seems to be a fairly nice city. It has the usual pollution and poverty that we´ve seen in large South American cities so far but it also has a large number of historical buildings dating from the Spanish colonial era, a small numbe...

Peru in a nutshell Music: Peru is an 80s lovers delight. Peruvians were obviously greatly taken by the likes of Wham, Tiffany, Rod Stewart, Billy Joel (who provides the soundtrack for their Football World Cup advert) etc. It truly was the place to get your fill of classic 80s bands. Even one-hit wonders like "Pop Goes the World", a song I don't ...

We got back into Lima after dark. We took a taxi over to the Mira Flores outdoor mall, had dinner at Tony Roma's, walked around a bit, then back to our hotel to crash. We get up early tomorrow to leave for Cusco.
