The Capital of Peru

Bus from Huaraz to Lima 26 October 2007
Lima, Peru, 26 - 27 October 2007

Arriving in Lima at 6.30pm traffic was simply indescribable. It was like watching a Thai boxing fight. You know there are rules but you can´t quiet figure out what the are!! Traffic lights were a waste of tax payers money. No one obeys them. We had an Italian taxi driver take us to our accommodation in Miraflores. The guy was a maniac. He fitted right in.


We were staying only 100 yards from the beautiful Larco Mar complex. A large shopping complex, it is set conscientiously atop the waterfront cliffs. It has a great design with much of the space open to the outside which gives it a real promenade appeal. The next day was spent exploring the city. We took a colectivo (minibus) into the centre and strolled through the various plazas. It was nice to have this time in Lima as we had originally planned to go straight to the airport and avoid Lima entirely. It is worth spending a little time here. We caught another colectivo back to Miraflores. In Larco Mar we decided to take in an afternoon movie. I can´t remember what it was called but it starred David Duchovny and was one of those relationship type movies. Reasonably entertaining. Let´s give it 3 stars. The following morning we were on a plane to Cusco after 2 months away......
