We made it safe and sound to Lima after a long trip which left us at the airport without getting collected by the hostel as promised.
After arriving in the taxi (which exposed us to Peru's interesting driving skills) we checked in and wandered out for dinner.
On Monday we checked out the city, we saw the mall Lacomar which is in the cliff face and then got our bearings around Miraflores. There are cats everywhere! We finished our day with some tequila shots which made for a difficult Tuesday morning.
After a slow start we managed to make it to our coastal bike tour where the first piece of advice we got was 'if you get hit by a car it's because your time is up!' But we survived the four hour tour and loved it, despite a few near misses. All in all there was some great scenery and good laughs.
Now we are preparing our bodies for the Inca Trail tour which starts tomorrow.
We are learning some Spanish phrases but thank goodness their English is better than our Spanish!
Buenas noches Sophie, Olivia, Sian and Catherine xox
Good luck for the inca trail girls, you will love it xx
