Lima, Peru

Lima, Peru slideshow

Lima was nothing like the dangerous, dirty and ugly city I had imagined to be. My overnight stay at Miraflores was very pleasant. I enjoyed the good restaurants, cafes and busy sidewalks. The beach was only a few blocks away from where I was staying, but the weather was cold and I was not too much in a mood for big cities. Twenty-four hours was enough for me to get a taste of it and the almost two hours to get out of town on rush-hour made me think I never want to live in a big city again. The many attractions and distractions are nice but after being in small towns for so long, I seem to like them much better. So, bye bye Lima, off to the north coast of Peru.
