We started in Lima, which is a really crazy, really big city! Lima is the biggest city in South America, there are almost 10 million people living there. It began badly with my luggage being lost and trying to deal with LAN airlines to locate it, which they were unable to. Then leaving the airport was super stressful, the traffic was horrendous! It didn't seem like anyone obeyed traffic laws, which is always especially stressful for me! Driving people would squish in as close as possible to the vehicle in front, beside, behind, anywhere they could inch their way forward... it was pure craziness, and this craziness was just magnified by the fact that no one spoke English... It could have also been the fact that we had flown over night so we were running on next to no sleep. By the time we got to the hotel my nerves were thin, and I was feeling a little overwhelmed.
Best decision ever was staying in the Miraflores district! I loved Miraflores!! We stayed at the Radisson, the continental breakfast is beyond amazing, if you ever stay in Lima I highly recommend this hotel! Once we got settled there we set off to go find a few things to replace my lost luggage. The funny thing about Peru is that they close everything down from around 11 to 1, so of course our luck had it that we got to the mall at 11. So we walked around for a while until we found a place to eat, which was a little stressful cause a lot of the restaurants only had menus in Spanish and the waiters only spoke Spanish. We did finally settle on a restaurant, and the food was so good, actually all of our food in Miraflores was so good!!
We just hung out all day enjoying the beautiful scenery. In the evening we decided that we had better take a turn paragliding. It was super cool! So beautiful! And just an all around cool experience.
