Peru, Lima

We didn't have much time here and spent most of it sitting in Lan Peru's offices trying to get them to sort out our flight that they had cancelled.

We stayed in Miraflores which is an upmarket suburb and very nice. Take a walk to see the sea.
There is a shopping and eating with a cinema with English films place perched on the cliff.
We had a fantastic Chef's Salad at La Crepe Bretonne here and there are cheaper take-away options.

In the center of Miraflores we had a great very cheap menu of the day with ceviche at Restaurant Cevicheria "Aventuras Marinas" on either Manuel Bonilla or Esperanze, somewhere around there.

We went to Lima center which is very different from Miraflores. There are lots of buses or shared taxis for 8 soles.
We went to see the Franciscan Museum which was interesting with its catacombs and loads of bones!

There is a huge shopping center called Jockey Plaza if you need a mall.

To get from the airport there is a very efficient bus which was still running at midnight when we arrived. It cost 30 soles and drops you off at your accommodation. We had a friendly driver who even helped us find accommodation when what we had booked was closed. Taxi's from the airport were much more expensive.
We booked a taxi back to the airport as we had an early flight. This cost 25 soles from Miraflores. It will be cheaper if you can hail one on the street.
The domestic departure tax from Lima was 18 soles.
The airport is modern with bookshops, souvenir shops and take-away food.
There are ATM's in international arrivals that dispense soles and US dollars.
