Lima

             .

After a swift five hour flight from Rio we landed in the much cooler capital of Peru, Lima. The temperature was a welcome 27 degrees, unlike the boiling temperatures of Rio.

Lima is a nice little city on the coast of Peru, most used as a stop off to Cusco, the epicentre of Machu Picchu and is by far the most developed city in Peru. Our hostel was the Dragonfly Hostel, in the Milaflores area of the city. A lovely area of the city and by far the nicest place to stay, just two blocks from our hostel was a lovely park and 4 blocks the other direction was the sea front.
