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 levels went to St Francis' crypt which was a real insight into Peru's past. A little stroll round various shops and stalls left us, strangely, longing for our lovely hostel room (see attached pic). Getting freshened up and off for a Lima speciality, raw fish. Fingers crossed.
