Besser als der Ruf
... verfluchten Guidebooks die Lima viel schlechter machen als es ist.
Kleiner Exkurs zur Geographie von Lima: Es gibt Lima Central, Miraflores und Barranco (und noch wesentlich mehr (immerhin leben hier mehr Leute als in der ganzen Schweiz) was aber touristisch nicht so bedeutsam ist). Unser Hostel ist in Miraflores. 100m vom Meer entfernt. Miraflores ist so ein bisschen der kommerziellere Bezirk. Gibt Dunkin Donuts (also doch! yeah!), Burger Ketten, Kaufhäuser und ...

for us.
We were headed for
Lima still some way to the north so we made one more overnight stop in the
coastal town of Cerro ...
Screamer in Lima
We were going to change our flights to miss out Lima. Then we wouldnt have enjoyed the best paid for hotel on the trip. Antara hotel in Miraflore, was not only a suite but had a sauna room, perfect for drying my trunks.Oh and having a sauna day noon and night.
