Leon De Oro Inn And Suites Lima

... want man ik dacht dat ik zeuren kon, maar die duitsers spannen de kroon. Isabela is nog niet zo gewend aan toeristen, de mensen vond ik ook niet bijzonder vriendelijk. Ligt nog zand op de straten. Alles is ook zo duur op de eilanden. We (Moni, Amelie en ik) hebben een vulkaan tocht gedaan en eilandjes voor de kust bezocht met veel wild life en we konden er snorkelen, onder andere met haaien, white tipped reef sharkes. Ze zijn echt super mooi om te zien. MAAR van een Afstand. Ik ...

... appretons a dire au revoir a julio, mais tient a nous accompagner place Saint martin, et nous depose a 10ms de la casa d’athuro pour faire nos sacs et se poser un peu avant de repartir ce soir. Recontre sympa, mème si un peu collante. Les hommes d’affaires sont ils vraiment presse? En tout cas, pas lui….

les photos arriveront plus tard car ça ne marche pas chez Arthuro...

We left at 7AM last Thursday morning and took an 8 hour bus rise to Tarma, a city on the other side of the Andes. For those of you who don't know, Lima is on the coast. I can see the ocean from my apartment. The road we were on took us through what was formerly the highest railroad pass in the world, crossing 15,000ft, then back down to Tarma (aprox. 10,000ft.) The views on this road were breathetaking. It was the highest elevation I've been at and the mountains ...

... an found myself becoming a little too involved in the competition - involuntary Ooos and Aaahs seemed to come out of my mouth and my driver scored some successes and some failures. Once, I think I even did a quiet Yay! (never really thought I was a Yay-er... live and learn, I guess).

In the Plaza des Armes this afternoon, I happene to arrive at the exact time of the changing of the guard at the Palace. I was amused to find that ...

... we wouldn't make our connection in Panama to Lima! Where would we be sleeping that night, I wondered?

Fortunately, the airline company was ready with our new boarding cards as soon as we got off the plane. We didn't have long until the next flight, but I had to ring the youth hostel in Lima and inform them that we were late. At the gate, I inserted my credit card in the phone, only to find out it was ...

... sculpture of the last supper there. It's adorable. J At 7 p.m. we went to dinner. We ate at this gorgeous restaurant. It was beautiful - like everything else so far! We had a buffet dinner that was out of this world. I can't even tell you how much I ate...(remember, in small amounts! - 2 or three bites of each thing)...APPETIZERS: soup, olives, pasta salad, potato with sauce, cheese and tomato, fresh avocado with shrimp, raw fish marinated in lemon juice, Ceviche, and ...

... niet om had maar gewoon in mijn tas had. Toen ik een tijdje later mijn tas wilde pakken was ie weg!! Weg camera (met de foto´s van Machu Picchu, Nasca en het sandboarden in Huacachina!!), weg ook mijn paspoort, rijbewijs en verder nog wat kleinere zaken. ZO ONTZETTEND STOM!! Achteraf is het de kerel achter ons geweest die ons bij het begin van de reis waarschuwde dat er water op de grond lag en dat we onze tassen beter op ...

... newest sensation in the area. It is a shopping mall built right into the cliffs. It was amazing to see but to me it was an overpriced, upmarket food hall in the best location ever. I considered going down to the water but I realised if I go down I will have to get back up. About a mile in from the beach is the backpacker heartland. Hostels, hash houses and tour companies everywhere. The area around Parque Kennedy, named after JFK for some reason, is ...

... explained to all of us all there is to know and to do. After lunch, we walked up the island towards the hotel installations to get our rooms assigned. We all had rooms overlooking Lake Titicaca and terraces full of flowers and hummingbirds. An incredible view! Visiting Martha's cultural cabin, canoeing ...

... y Convento de San Francisco. It's most famous for the catacombs located underneath the monastery that house an ossuary. Although you have to pay 5 soles to get in, it's well worth it. It comes with a tour, and since the one in Spanish just started, I went to that one instead of waiting 10 minutes for the English one to begin. Luis, our tour guide, was fun and upbeat and really made the the tour memorable...
