<By Jaymma> Hola my friends ! Voila, nos deux derniers jours au Perou viennent de s'achever. Ce qu'on a fait : pas grand-chose. La motiv n'etait pas trop la car Lima n'est pas se que l'on peut appeler une ville ensoleillee, on est un peu en overdose de musees et et notre auberge de jeunesse etait tres confortable et avait une super collect...

Knowing full well we didn´t want to stay in Lima again we were keen to get straight to Cusco. At the airport I got straight on the phone enquiring about the next bus to Cusco, as the bus was leaving 40mins later we had a very rushed taxi ride to the Ormeno bus terminal. Arriving one minute before the bus departed we managed to get tickets and ju...

Lima ist also Endstation unserer Reise. Am Dienstag fliegen wir beide wieder zurueck - allerdings mit unterschiedlichen Fluegen. Die Zeit in Suedamerika war sehr fantastisch und ich weiss nicht so richtig, ob ich mich freuen soll, dass ich nun nach hause fliege. Zum einen freue mich auf eine gute Dusche, viel Entspannung, saubere Klamotten, kein...

Lima, Peru... first impression: THANK GOD IM NOT STAYING HERE FOR ALL FIVE DAYS! Its a big BIG BIG BIG big city (2nd largest desert city in the world. just over 8 million people) in a poor country. Lonely Planet says "Lima will appeal to you in different ways. It make take a while, but your investment in exploring one of South America`s happenin...

Chelsea arrived last night, it was so damn great to see her. It was real easy to find her at the airport because 1) she found me and 2) there was practically nobody there. Chelsea reserved us a room at this hostel in another neighborhood, its not as nice as the one I was staying in. This hostel was clearly sketch though. The first clue was the r...

So. Letzter Tag. Um 21:20 gehts mit KLM via Bonnaire (NL Antillen) und Amsterdam zurueck nach Duesseldorf. Erst mal noch ins Goldmuseum - ungefaehr der einzige Flop dieser Reise, obwohl im Reiseführer als Highlight bezeichnet. Aber nicht schlimm, war ja noch genug Zeit. Also weiter ins Nationalmuseum, das was schon interessanter. Peruanische Ges...

Fuer diese Stadt bin ich einfach zu frueh aufgestanden. Sie hatte nicht wirklich eine Chance... Morgens vor neun im Zentrum, es sind alle Laeden noch geschlossen - nur Rolladen, man sieht noch nicht mal, was es gaebe. Rund um die Plaza Polizei, denn am Sonntag sind Wahlen. Und kein Kaffee fuer mich. Stattdessen Nieselregen. Duesseldorf, ich komm...

Got a minibus (we managed to get their price down to less tahna cab fare) to our hostel and met a cool Canadian chica called Evelyn who showed us the ropes (well the local area anyway). Had a decent Chinese meal at a local Chifa. Next day we went around Miraflores (the tourist area where we stayed) witha dude form Haiti called Antoine. The beach...

Lima is definitely unlike any other city I've visited. I'm staying in a hotel in the Centro - downtown area. It's not the prettiest of areas. It's very run down, lots of shanty's mixed in with beautiful baroque churches. I knew tourism was slow when I was waiting in a Fransican Monestary and a group of jr. high school students on a history field...

Equipped with signs, balloons and a special party pack, we jumped in our taxi and headed to the airport (the taxi driver did try it on abit when he tried to get the full fare out of us at the petrol station!!! Hmmm!) You should have seen us stood waiting for Dave in the arrivals hall, we had 6 huge balloons with heads, antennaes and everything, ...
