So happy to make it back to sea level today. I can walk up a flight of stairs without huffing & puffing.
After Cusco and Puno and Juliana, Lima seems like a wonderful modern city. But the trip itself was another long travel day: up at 5:30, at least hour on a bus to get to the airport, then a couple of hours flying, then another hour bus ride to the hotel. We got to our hotel a little after noon. And then we had to have our Covid tests which was poorly organized.
At some point we had a small snack of delicious tacos.
And we still had time to take a walk, shop along the way. Visit a little textile museum and then have dinner at Tanta. We had an amazing mushroom appetizer and I had a.fabulous pumpkin risotto with shrimp.
So all in all a nice day with a few bumps.
Also so great to be off the altitude illness med. The side effects were almost as bad as the effects of the altitude!Read more
