After two flights and a crazy car ride, we made it to Lima! We arrived at the airport around 10:25pm and made it to our hostel a bit after midnight. The hostel staff at Flying Dog greeted us and took us to our room where we managed to fall asleep despite of all the city noise. We woke up fairly well rested and took off downstairs to have breakfast at a nearby cafe. Nothing fancy, just some toast and one egg! But the coffee here is delicious like we remember it being in Europe. After breakfast, we decided to wander around the city for a bit making our way down to Larco Mar. The area has a beautiful view of the water and all of the amazing surrounding cliffs so we spent quite a bit of time down there taking in the view and walking through the shops/restaurants.
We made the executive decision to leave Lima a day early; the city is interesting but we are ready to be in the country near Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. We are heading out tomorrow evening for our 18 hour bus ride to Cusco via Cruz del Sur.
Now, we are off to find a local restaurant where we can enjoy some food and vino!
