Hotel Javier Prado Inn Lima

there are people with machettis, bricks being thrown and vehciles sir...perhaps you can take a charter flight....i never thought i would hear that said to me-but i have, TWICE in the past 24 hours...there is a īroad strikeī-as they call it over here, on the road between ...

Arrived in Lima lateish on friday night having spent two days in Madrid. Staying in Miraflores which is basically the posh area of the city. Went to see some pretty ****** Inca ruins in the city. The tour guide was brutal - knew absolutely zero about what he was showing us. Told him not to spend all the 1 dollar tip in the one shop.

Central Lima is nice but not the safest ...

... into a new dark cloudy and cold new city! (Mummy keep in mind Iīm not in Paris and Lima turned out awesome!) The day proceeded to get weirder and weirder as we could not find the hostel recommended to us, "Kokopelli" so we checked out another one called "Stop and Drop". This was only our second hostel for the day so even though we liked it we wanted to keep looking. None of the others were as good though. On our way back the owner of Stop and Drop ...

... to the general public. At the start of the visit, they very politely asked our group not to take photos as a mark of respect and for security reasons. The American on our tour refused to accept that he wasnīt allowed to take photos stating "whatīs to respect, itīs just a pile of old bones!" Clearly one of the less cultured individuals to leave those shores across the pond. To be quite honest, his behaviour was almost as embarrassing as his synthetic "Tom Jones-style ...

... to be sitted next to bride so was quite good as we had time to tchat a bit!!!
Food was very good again, super light actually!!
And despues de une hora, la musica acaba y todo el mundo estaba vailando!!!

There was a band playing all night a lot of salsa, merengue, poco de 80's music....
Suddenly we had guys coming on dance floor with tall legs and throwing to us mask, jewels and all kind of funcky stuff like for Rio Carnival
That created a superb ...

... 4,200 m.a.s.l. Walking on a remarkably well preserved Inca trail, we’ll pass ancient archaeological sites half covered by dense jungle overgrown vegetation. A most rewarding day, with dream like landscapes of the Inca Trail to Machupichu, orchids, ferns multi colored birds and humming birds provide the ideal backstage. We’ll set ...

... le-a sucit, s-a uitat sub fuste, in chilotzi, le pipaia. Mai avea putzin si le taia, sa vada din ce erau facute. Cand a vazut ca devenim extrem de nervosi, s-a dus sa ne verifice pasapoartele. . Cam astea sunt dedicatiile mele pentru acea doamna.

Acum suntem acasa. Vladutz a crescut mult si turuie de iti sparge timpanele.

Va multumim din suflet ca ati fost alaturi de noi in aceasta calatorie.
V-am pupat si sanatate tuturor!

... ses fast-foods... Dans les boutiques de souvenirs, les prix sont exhuberants et parfois plus de 10x superieurs a ceux des artisans dans les villages comme nous avons pu voir. La difference avec le reste du Perou est enorme et bluffante, comme si on nous etions rentres en Europe. Lucie remarque a la sortie d'un cafe en ville la disparition de son portefeuille (argent, CB...) surement vole.

... which is mostly from 1600 ish with tiles imported from Seville, a library with books from as far back as1200 and catacombs with the bones of 10,000 people up to 10m deep in places. This was one of the best churches we have been to, the carvings on the ceiling and everything about it was amazing. We couldnīt take photos in any of it which was gutting. We walked back down the main street on a scorching day, we were told Lima is the second driest city in the world after Cairo so we stopped ...

... which is often extremely cheap – normally for 6 soles (just over a pound then). The set menu often consists of 3 courses – a soup (like chicken soup), then the main lunch which consisted of chicken, rice, salad and then if you are lucky, a small dessert too. The drink (a lemonade or lemonade-like drink that came from a big bucket to be served to the customers) rounded off the meal. For me this was one of the best finds of travelling in South ...
