Very early in the morning we arrive to Lima and
quickly decided to rest at bus station. While Janka, Phoebe and Rapha were
sleeping Nuno could witnessed robbery in loco. Sort of a scam, a guy looked for
people asleep. Found a guy, sat next to him and in few minutes went running
with the nearest bag. A Peruvian just been assaulted by another Peruvian…
welcome back to city life!!!
Lima is huge city. It has the same number of
inhabitants as Portugal and double of Slovakia!!! Well, we decided to spend at
least 2 days visiting city. Once again, churches were main touristic attraction
what isn´t much of our taste. After accommodating ourselves and having a deserved
night of rest in hostel, we went to city center by bus next morning (around 1 h
of trip). Sitting in Main Square, we were asked to do interview. We were asked
questions by 2 Peruvians who were studying English. :D What a funny
experience!!! But the main reason of our presence in the “plaza de armas” was
the change of guard in the Presidential building. After some nice music, there
was the President of Peru: Ollanta Humala.
In the afternoon we met Phoebe and Raphael
again and went for a walk in Barranco and Miraflores, the most quite and nicest
part of Lima… it worthy to visit. We also walked along big part of the pretty coastal
area of city. After some shops we finished drinking beer in a roundabout near
our hostel just being disturbed by a police officer on motorbike J. We had to pack ourselves and move
to terrace of the hostel because drinking alcohol on the public is prohibited.
Thankfully to the nice officer we didn’t get any fine. :P
And that was it for Lima… early morning we took
taxi to our bus and run away from city. We were heading to visit the famous
Nazca lines.
