Woke up in Lima this morning, due to jet lag, at five. After heading downstairs for breakfast I adventured into the district of miraflores. About a one minute walk and I found myself in a park on a huge cliff with a beautiful lighthouse on it's edge. All along the cliff edge was a cute brick wall and a boardwalk. As I had a lot of time to kill I headed off to see what I could find. The view of the vast and rugged pacific ocean a couple of hundred meters down was amazing in itself. The walk, dotted with park after park, ended me at a really cute shopping centre. Nice bookstores, dunkin donuts, craft shops and starbucks (which is where I am now) created a very good morning for my first in Peru!
The language difference hasn't been too bad. Most of the time I get by. But thanks to my dark hair tourists have mistaken me for a Peruvian and have begun to ask for directions in broken Spanish!! Lucky for them I do speak english...but unlucky for them I don't know the directions.
I wish I had more time to explore Lima, but I'm off to Cuzco tomorrow. According to the whole world Cuzco is THE place, so hopefully I'll forget my sadness in leaving Lima.
Adios for now mi amigos!!
Love love

Sounds amazing! Happy traveling in Cuzco! (Just makes me think of the llama!) xx
ReplyDeleteStarbucks really is a prime example of Globalization, everywhere you go, there is one somewhere.
