Lima

Our first stop, Lima!  This city has played host to us for two days while we have attempted to make a game plan for the upcoming weeks.  Our taxi ride from the airport to the more affluent neighbourhoods demonstrated how vast this city is as we noticed the building improve in appearance and the cars had fewer dings.

We are currently sharing a dorm room with our bunk mate, Leonardo.  He is a strange boy who stays in the room all day and leaves only between the hours of 11pm and 4 am to party.  We have decided that either he needs all day to nurse his hangover from the night before or he is a vampire.     

Despite the creepy roommate the hostel we are staying at is quiet nice and located in a fun part of town just blocks away from the central park which is filled with music and locals dancing the night away. 

Lima’s coast line is mainly cliffs with just a narrow strip of beach full of surfers and there are Inca ruins throughout the city.

While Lima has treated us well we are excited to leave the noise and smell of car exhaust and start our adventure moving South down the coast.  Our only complaint so far is that we were not forewarned of the wild vicious wild life prowling around central park...meow!
