My first impression wasn't so good, like I told you. But I have been taught to give second chances :) We stayed in Miraflores, upper class area of Lima. Nice buildings, parks, malecon and beach front, not bad at all. We swapped our hostel and I am glad we did, Inkawasi is so beautiful and peaceful, with pool table fancy dining area. Me gusta!
We spent Monday at the historic centre, wouldn't say it is so colonial as Cartagena or Quito. But we still found some really nice buildings and squares, Plaza Mayor being the best one. New modern concrete buildings kind of ruined the old town feeling.
Today we walked to Barranco, another uptown area. Nice view to the sea, really fancy apartments with huge balconies and rooftops. Nowadays place for writers, musicians and artists to live, I would say it is the next Miraflores. Very chilled, not so many bars to make noises. Really nice old mansions, some of them very rustic thou. We finished our walk to firshermen warf at Chorrillos. Lunch at local place, fresh cheviche and fish for lunch.
We had thought of walking back on the beach but it wasn't nice at all. Very dirty and smelly. Now it is our one last hour together before I head to the airport to fly home for the funeral and see my family (holiday between the holiday) and Rob will catch a night bus to Huarez.
