Lima, Peru

I would have liked a lie in, but it seems my body clock to primed for a 6.30am wake up.  The hostel do a great breakfast with eggs and I spend most of the morning planning the next two weeks.  Steve arrives into Lima on the 7th July, and I think this gives me good time to see three towns in the north of Peru with a bit of hiking.

Today is Nicole’s birthday, so once she is functioning post last night’s hangover we arrange to meet at Laromar.  This is a shopping complex on the edge of Miraflores barrio that overlooks the sea.  The walk up there shows the contrast between the colourful Barranco and the high rises of Miraflores.  Once I find Nicole we go to a photography exhibition of the world’s press, it’s good and reminds me of how much is going on in the world outside of my adventure.  

We enjoy a couple of cakes while watching the sunset to celebrate Nicole being a year older before parting as Nicole is still feeling rough.  I enjoy beef noddles at a Asian restaurant, looking forward more of the renown culinary delights of Lima.
