LIMA (PERU)




We lost our bible for travellers, our lonely planet and we were hoping to be harassed by hostel owners on our arrival as usual but that wasn't the case. We got dumped in the middle of the road with rubbish lying around everywhere and the area looked rather dodgy. After walking for a few minutes towards the city centre a car hit a person who came flying over the road. By then Petra had enough and was quite happy to spend a few soles on a taxi. He found us a cheap hotel and we were very grateful for that.

Lima has not much to offer and coming towards Easter the city was building up with people and so were the queues to get into church. We decided to leave this place and the country as soon as possible but being Easter all long distance buses were fully booked. We had to hop along in buses for over a day to finally reach the boarder.Bye, bye Peru and we don't think we will visit you again.
