Well, back from Lima after a busy day. Firstly, booked a whole host of bits and bobs. Namely a 4 hour bus to Ica, then a sand boarding experience followed by a beastly 10 hour bus to Arequipa. This morning to beat the jet lag we packed up our day bags and hopped in a taxi to Lima centre. Starving we hit the first restaurant in sight, asked for the waiters favourite and, somehow, it turned out an amazing feast (helped by Peruvian beer). Then to boost the culture...

After arriving at the airport at 06.30 to find out our airport pick up was booking for yesterday, we had a little bartering with a taxi driver. 40 soles to our hostel. Sunbathed pictures and $11 seemed a bargain online, but hostel is seemingly basic! But nevertheless is perfect for our first night. Just off in a minute to book bus onwards. Followed by a little jaunt around Lima city centre before the jet lag sets in!
