Beginning of the round trip “Lima – Cusco – Puno”
First trip out of the country Colombia – and still, Colombia offers more…But now a short break in Peru. Of course we took the easy option: we went by plane to Lima, the capital city of Peru.
The flight from Bogotá to Peru was awesome because every seat had its own TV, so I was watching movie during the flight time. As well we got a whole meal and drinks, so luxury we had yes. But of course every time you like to enter another country, well at least in South America; you have to fill out a form paper saying what you doing there, what you want to bring in and so on. Well this kind of form paper is really annoying but well we filled it out during the flight. What a mistake! The flight only was around 3 hours or less and so I missed the end of my movie. Only 5 minutes were left, but I just spend too much time with eating and writing. But well at least the flight felt really short and when we entered the terminal in Lima we were all surprised how clean and neat everything was. So I’m hoping that Bogotá will improve its airport soon.
From the airport we went straight to our hotel. We were taking the coast road, a road besides the coast obviously. Surprisingly at the coastline there were a lot of «beach»-work going on. The beach there was being rebuilt and supported in many section. The sea is eating everything.
The first day wasn’t specular. We only had a short walk in the quarter “Miraflores”. There you can find a lot of Casinos. Well we preferred not to play with our luck, so we only went for some food. I had the bad idea to order Ceviche, what is typical in Peru. I tried Ceviche one time before in Colombia and I liked it. So when the waiter asked me “Are you sure what you doing?” I said “Sure I’m. I ate this once before.” Well I got my dinner, it was good, butter after 3 spoons of it, and I had to stop. It was just too acid and hot. Next time I will order a moderate tourist Ceviche…
The next morning we got up really early to start our round trip to Cusco, the Inca ruins in Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu and the lake of Titica.
