Day 29

We arrived in Lima late at night and despite being chased down by multiple taxi drivers, we took a 15 min walk to our hostel.

After having a light breakfast we had immediately felt a huge relief of being able to communicate in Spanish, as we spoke with a local worker who directed us to the nearest bus stop.

The scenes felt much more chaotic than anywhere in Brazil, as drivers or their assistants simply shouted the direction of the bus or waved the sign while passing through a bus stop. There was no silence in the bus itself as well, as one after another merchants came in telling their life stories and selling candies. We took advantage of that as well and started our day trying some local candy.

We reached Miraflores neighborhood which is located next to the ocean and is of the most touristic ones. We enjoyed an afternoon walk with the views of the boardwalk next to the cliff and the ocean.
