Whitneys on Tour
This was just a brief visit on 8th January, born of necessity as we had a flight booked from Lima to Quito, Ecuador the next day where we meet our Galapagos Islands touring group.
We heard Lima wasn't the nicest place but in fairness what we saw was actually very nice indeed. Admittedly we didn't see much of the city, not even the town centre. We had a hostel booked in the Miraflores part of town which was very plush area which even had a beach which was characterised by paragliders jumping off the cliff and whizzing about around the high rise apartments and hotels. We had a wander around during the afternoon and had dinner in the evening and that was pretty much it. A nice, pleasant stopover!
The weather was also particulalrly pleasant and marks the start (we hoped) of a long spell of exposure to warmer and drier climates. Having spent so much time at altitude recently we haven't had a great deal of warm weather so we're looking forward to it in the Galapagos Islands.
