Hi there
We flew to Lima last night. It sucks.
It started with the plane that we flew on being barely airworthy - the lights on the plane kept going on and off erratically (which can't be good) and there was so little room between the seats that Ash basically sat with his knees around his ears. We were just glad to get off the thing, especially when the pilot decided that landing wasn't part of his job and that it might be fun to drop the plane on the tarmac from a great height.......
We heard that Lima was not a great place - and we were proved right. There is pollution, people stare at you, men hang out of passing cars and yell things, people accost you on the street for money, or to go into their bar, you think that everyone is going to steal your bag etc etc. I guess we are all really tired and a bit cranky and not in the mood for a culture shock. We did go down to the water at Miraflores which has a fantastic view - but we are now holed up in our hotel room with the aim of getting drunk safetly.
