22nd March 2007 - Day 356
Decided stupidly to head off somewhere new! Caught a taxi to Ica from there then caught a bus to Cerro Azul to relax on the beach!! After a few hours of travelling stopped on the main road at the edge of the town of Cerro Azul, which we thought was going to be a beach side quiet retreat but ended up being a little too quiet .. nowhere was open and there was nothing to do, no shops, no restaurants to eat!! Possibly the most dead town in Peru. Booked into the only hostel in town, which turned out to be an attached room on someones house. Not too bad. Went for a wander to find some food - but not really much options - only a few empty cafes and fish joints. Definitely not the culinary delights we'd expected.

Time to move on from the deadest town in Peru got a taxi south back to the nearest town with bus stop to Lima. Decided we'd be better off back in the big smoke for ourlast few days in Peru. A phone call to the hostel the night before meant we booked a few extra nights in Barranco - a lovely hostel called Barranco's backpackers - which we would recommend to anyone - the people who work there are really friendly and helpful. After droppin off our bags we headed into Barranco - Plaza de Armas, chilling out, had lunch at Iskay, good sarnies at bargain prices.

Today chilled out again - took a seafront cliff walk to Miraflores. Had lunch overlooking the seafront, at a lovely seafood place, modern bar and cinema complex.

Another day of relaxation. Wandered around Barranco and headed down the cliff to the beach as the sun was shining. Played cards on the beach and Paul caught a few Rays. Decided to head into miraflores central to the Inca/Indian markets for a wander, to pick a few souvenirs. Had dinner at a posh restaurant, where a man who reminded me of Manuel - off faulty towers. Food was good!!!

Last day in Peru and South America - Boo Hoo!! Spent our last day in the craft markets at Miraflores, trying to kill a bit of time before our 9:05 pm flight to Madrid.
