LIMA here we come!

March 31st, 2010

Met up with my travel gang at the LAX airport en route to Lima!

My travel gang! Leica, Anton, Tina B, Malu & Tessa!

We were all so very excited and ready to go!

Tessa was her useful, colorful self! I love her energy and positivity!

We checked out the lounge of LAN which was really so well designed.

The bar of the lounge.

The banyos were really nice too.

We took an airline called LAN and it was such a superb airline! They have the best blankets ever! LOL! The trip to Lima takes almost 8 hours from Los Angeles.

This was my seat on the plane!

Nix and I all set to fly!

The California coast.

The food on board was incredibly good! This was our first course which was a very thinly sliced roast beef with some roasted goats cheese! The spinach and pear salad was so refreshing!

I decided to have the cheese ravioli as my main course.

The view before I fell asleep.

When we arrived it was close to midnight but since we were all so revved up we decided to make use of this energy and head out for an evening of partying! LOL! I just want to share with you some highlights from our day 1. The little spanish I know is actually getting a lot of use here and it is actually working for me. Tee hee.

We arrived in Lima close to midnight! So far everything was running so smooth and easy!

Lima's new airport.

Collecting our bags!

A shot of the chic little airport in Lima.

At first glance, I am reminded of Dumaguete! LOL! The city of Lima is along the coast and the architecture is really interesting.

We stayed in Hotel Inka. It is a small boutique hotel along the Mira flores district. It was sweet and very homey. The hotel used to be a house of a famous Peruvian archeologist.

This is the lobby.

Leica checking out the digs.

I loved this frame! I want to search for it in the markets.

Our room! The shocker was there was no air-con! LOL! It was a bit warm but when we opened the window it cooled us down. I still asked for a "bentilador" though. Good thing they gave me one immediately.
