1st July 2013- woke up around 7 am but went back to sleep till closer to 9 and then breakfast was served. Watched another movie and looked out the window for a bit. Also slept some more. We arrived in Lima around 11am and then drove for nearly an hour into the city centre to the bus office. I was then able to get a taxi to the old cathedral in the central part of Lima. I didn't have anything booked so walked to a hostel that was suggested in the guide book and got a dorm room at hotel espanana. It is a crazy old Spanish house that has been semi converted in a very cheap way to a hostel/ hotel.
Walked around the city looking at the cathedral and government buildings around the plaza de arms. There are so many tourist shops selling everything. Walked along till I reached the national university. It was a beautiful area with several large courtyards and room around each of those. It had been restored with different colours for each of the courtyards. There was also a large park in front of the university with sculptures of various figures of important to the university history. It was starting to get dark so Made my way to the supermarket and then back to the hostel. Was feeling really tired after the long bus ride and then hours walking around the city so feel alseep early.
