On 17th of September I met Susan (sweetlovercat85) from San Borja, Lima. After meeting in Miraflores and thinking about what we could do we decided to head for the district of San Miguel to go to the Parque de las Leyendas, Lima´s main zoo. In the park you can see species from around the world bu…

Personally, I prefer to discover a city just by my own.  I mean, I don't like going with a guided tour. But this time was different. My boss came to Lima during Easter and before being able to travel to our destinations in South America, we had to spend some free time in Lima. He has been her…

After a great sleep (meetup recovery), I even had the energie to work-out before I met up with the group for lunch in Miraflores. Ok, this time I arrived to the right church to find 5 or 6 TB's waiting. We walked to Mango's a nice place perched on the top of a bluff overlooking the S…

Friday 29 Feb, 2008An airport representative in the line told us our flight was delayed 20 minutes, so we relaxed a bit. After the passport check station was the security line. We all got through quickly and without incident, so we headed to our gate. As soon as we got there we had to board immedia…

Finally we arrived to Lima around 2am! Was the flight so short? Not at all. Buenos Aires is two hours ahead of Lima, so actually we arrived at 4am, that’s why I was feeling tired. Anyway a good thing of a delayed flight is the fact you arrive to the airport while nobody is arriving, haha. So,…

"And when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it" ..... Paulo Cohelo - The AlchemistI've been dreaming about Europe since I was very young, for some reason the old continent always got my attention, but at the same point it became some sort of a such a far away…

Wow, another TB year is ending and I feel as if I've been part of this site for years and years, hehehe. It's part of my regular life and really enjoy sharing my experiences with this awesome community :)Last year I was able to keep on traveling, but not as frequently to the USA as the year before.…

Wow! It was unbelievable Eric's 2 weeks in Lima were almost over. It seemed to be yesterday when I went to the airport, pffff. He had to fly back home the 16th in the morning, so this would be his last day in Lima. We went out for lunch and to buy some stuff he'd like to take with him. Did anybody …

It was past noon when we arrived home. First thing I did was opening the door, so Gunther could say hi to his mom! My baby!!! Of course he was waiting for me to take him to the grooming, hahaha. Scruffy or not scruffy he's my baby! He was jumping and barking, so happy!I wanted to take my backpack u…

I couldn’t believe it, I was back home!!! I was able to communicate to my mom while I was in Miami, so she sent a taxi to pick me up from the airport. Doing customs wasn’t bad, since I left the plain early, but picking up the bags took a long time!!! Actually the longest was getting out of …

My city, warm people, beautiful buildings, while you are walking you will see the past together with the new era. Different kinds of dishes, our Pisco is the best :)) Come and visit my country.

Before leaving Piura I called the taxi driver, so he would wait for us at the airport. Flight was good and didn't last long at all. We arrived to Lima earlier than expected. It was 7:10pm when we landed. At that time it wasn't still dark in Mancora, but it was dark in Lima. First sign I was back in…

Lima...we were suddenly here. After hours and hours of flying with several airlines our plane was finally rolling towards the arrival gate of the Lima International airport. We all felt happy about it, even if the weather outside didn’t look that inviting. It looked...sort of grey. At least it di…

At 6:30 pm we met again in front of the church and with a few cabs we went to Barranco. After waiting a little bit on the main square Yadi showed us around. We had a tradition to walk over a bridge, the sign bridge, with your eyes closed. Heey, that was just like a dutch ‘Polonaise’ J If you ke…

Today it was my flight back home, but first I had my national flight from Cusco to Lima. It all went very smoothly and in no time I was in Lima. Looking over Peru it was already saying goodbye to my definately beautiful, astonishing and breathtaking trip through Peru. When the plane landed in Lima …
