That's it - now it's time to close the Central and South America chapter and get ready for the next chapter. A feeling that cannot be put into words. But before I try, here's a...

After arriving in Lima, we check into the hotel and leave our luggage there before heading off to breakfast in Barranco - one of the younger and hipper districts of the city,...

Day 9 The evening before we recklessly booked a bike tour - now you ask yourself - recklessly, why? Well, it wasn't because we were unsportsmanlike. On the way to the meeting...

So I didn't go down for breakfast until around 8 a.m. because I slept a little longer. Breakfast was good, but I find it negative that cake and melon are not refilled 1.5 hours...

At 7 a.m. I went down for breakfast and had a good rest. I think next time I'll make sure I choose accommodation without breakfast. Because if it's there, then I'll treat myself...

The flight was delayed by half an hour. I had checked in my suitcase along with my backpack and only had a small bag with me. That's why I'm the very last one on the plane. It's...

I waited at the hotel for my transport. It was supposed to come between 2:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. and when he wasn't there at 3:02 p.m. I got a little nervous, although in Peru that...

I discovered a fortress opposite the meeting point for the boat tour and I visited it for 12 soles (3€). It is gigantic and is still used by the military, so you can still see...

I slept really well, but I can't turn off the air conditioning. And it makes very loud noises, so I'm afraid it'll fall down at any moment. Ice crystals also come out every now...

Today I slept a little longer. You actually wanted to jog before the food tour, but I made myself a relaxing tea at 7 a.m. and then booked a bus tour to 6 places. Then I got...

I wrote to Jeff about the meeting and he actually said 7 p.m., but he asked if we would meet in half an hour. I actually just wanted to go home and take a shower, but this suits...

At 3 p.m. I was finally able to go to my room. When I arrived there were still other guests arriving, but the staff was still friendly. And the room is also really nice: there...

January 30, 2024 Lima Today I left the ship again shortly after 8 a.m., but this time I took a shuttle bus that went to the Miraflores district. The drive through the grueling...

January 29, 2024 Lima Shortly after 8 a.m. I left the ship and took the shuttle bus out of the harbor area. Taxi drivers offered their services at the bus stop. I chose...

10.11.22, we finally landed in Lima. Since our flight from San Jose to Bogota, the Colombian capital, was delayed, we missed our connecting flight to Lima. We had to spend the...

After a day's layover in Madrid (missed connecting flight), we finally arrived in Lima! With the cool, humid climate that characterizes Lima in winter, we are shivering. The...

After the highlight yesterday and the last four days of hiking at high altitudes in wind and weather, today can be a quiet day again. Question in the morning: How do you know...

Since some people are wondering what's wrong with us, a quick sign of life :) Adios Perú

So I was really knocked out by the trip, but I was happy that I was still able to fly despite the delay. I didn't get a great introduction, but I didn't have to do much either....

After the pool I lay down in the sun for a while. There are mostly older people in the hotel and the staff is really friendly. Then I went to the weight room and did a little...

I was in bed early and woke up early. Unfortunately it was really humid. The air conditioning does not work. Maybe. I asked today, but unfortunately there was nothing there when...

After the bus luckily stopped exactly at my hotel (the bus stop is simply named after my hotel), I briefly dropped off my suitcase. The staff was very friendly, there is a...

Arranged to meet Pepe again today. I'm really looking forward. That will be interesting. He has enormous knowledge. He was actually supposed to work as a tour guide. So we set...

Street Food Tour

I had read on the internet that there were remains of an ancient pyramid to visit. And since this was recommended to me at the hotel and I still had time to check in, I walked...

Was awake relatively early. I actually planned to walk to Barrancas today, a district right nearby. But after I walked to the harbor and chilled out there for a bit, I decided...

I decided not to walk back. I had chosen a bus connection and if it doesn't run or doesn't work, I take a taxi. Was so broken. But a bus actually came, although this is the kind...

Off to Lima...I had to be at the airport at 10:00 a.m. Instead of hassling with taxi drivers about the price like I usually do, I took Uber. It's very practical, the price is...

Phew, luckily I only checked the flight time at the airport in Zurich 😅 1.5 hours to Amsterdam and then another 12 hours to Lima with KLM. Since I had an aisle seat, I stood...
