We got up, showered etc then grabbed breakfast. After having breakfast we went for a wonder around the department stores in Lima, they're huge! I dunno why we went as it was torture not being able to buy anything!
We headed back to the hostel to sort out our next route! Nightmare! To sum it up in short we found some good multi-city flights - 6 flights in total for £500 tried to book them twice but both transactions failed. So back and forth to the airline office they quoted us over £800!! Basically they were so unhelpful in the end (after we'd crashed their website!) the woman dealing with us walked off!! We didn't have time to deal with it as we had to get to our bus tour.
Putting the flight saga behind us we went for the bus. We stopped at a fountain park that was pretty cool, it had loads of different fountains and a big fountain show with lights and lasers. (supposedly the 2nd biggest fountains in the world!) we then got on the bus and drove around central Lima randomly stopping at the Sheraton hotel for orange juice and sandwiches! (I think they did it to show us the luxury were missing out on!) the hotel was beautiful! We then got back on the bus and drove around Lima then back to the district we're staying in called Miraflores (nice part!) we can't get over how big Lima is, the guide said the population is 9 million and it takes 3 hours to drive from one side to the other! The bus tour was ok but probably would've been better during the day!
We headed back to the hostel (stopping at burger king on the way!) checked alternative flights and found a good deal to book tomorrow then we sat in the bar having a few drinks trying to forget about our nightmare of a day!
