The next days passed in a flow... I went out with Fito and Alberto, had too much food, too many bad coffees and a few good ones... and definately a lot of fun and great conversations!
Lima is a universe in itself - there is the historic center full of churches and historic buildings, then there's chic Miraflores, a very stylish and starbucked neighbourhood close to the beach, then of course our favourite Barranco, home to original bars and restaurants, a lively beach and a couple of upscale beach restaurants...
I especially enjoyed visiting the museum and the catacombs of the San Francisco convent. Enjoying is maybe not the right word for tunnels full of bones and skulls - impressed would be more fitting. And than there is a paiting of the Last Supper - a Peruvian version, where Jesus and the disciples share a dish of roasted guinea pig! Unfortunately it was not allowed to take pictures - I would have loved to share this paiting with you - I think its hilarious ;-)
So somehow we spend one week doing nothing special, just enjoying life! :-) And I think both Alberto and me got quite used to the Iquique Hostel and staff - a really nice place in a busy neighbourhood where you easily feel at home! I will definately back later this year... but first, off to the Gringo Trail :-)
