First impression of Lima

06/10/2017

Armed with a map, I set off for Kennedy Park. Of course, I walked in the wrong direction as soon as I left the hostel. It took me 45 minutes to reach my destination thanks to the help of the locals, even though it should have taken only 10 minutes. Who knows where I would have ended up without their assistance. And yes, they helped me in Spanish. Of course, I didn't understand anything, but they used their hands while speaking to show me the approximate direction, and eventually, the street names matched with my map again. But don't worry, my first stop was a mobile phone store - now I have mobile internet, and Google Maps and I are now best friends.
