Lima

The 7th of March I arruved in Lima by airplane.Since I arrived in the evening I just took a taxi to the hotel. I didn´t feel like figering out how to get there by bus and they are warning for unsafe areas in Lima. The hostel was really nice and is called Home Peru. It is an old mansion dating from the twenties. The rooms are spacious just like the whole mansion. The house is filled with antiques which gives it a nice atmosphere.

The first day in Lima I didn´t get up to much. I just relaxed and uploaded pictures in an internetcafe. In the evening I picked up my mother from the airport. Since we were both quite tired from travelling we went to bed early. The second day I went to the beach to see the Pacific. No wide sandy beaches. The beaches look really nice. The beaches drop down thirty meters and end in a rocky beach. There is actually a surf and quite a few people in the water. We had a day with a nice blue sky. Which is, as people told me, something that does not happen often. Till now the weather in Lima was nice and I so far only saw Miraflores and San Isidro. So far I really like Lima. Only minus really are the many many cars that make the air smoggy and stinky.

In the evening we had dinner at the hostel together with Karen. A Norwegian girl that stayedat the hostel as well. Went to bed early again. I guess I am still tired from all the travelling. Got up early today to catch the bus to Nasca and arrived at about 14:00 hours. Tommorrow we probably will takea flight over the Nasca lines.
