Shelley put me to shame today spending an hour working out in the gym, my excuse, im saving my energy and my fat reserves for the upcoming Inca Trail. After 2 days in smog covered downtown Lima we headed off to our next hotel in a suburb called Miraflores, which translated means look at the flowers. It is also the site of a Gaudi park with a rather interesting statue of 2 giants kissing. The park was opened with a kissing competition which even the Mayor competed in.
Miraflores is where the rich and famous of Lima hangout, with penthouse appartments overlooking the Pacfic ($200k) and an american style mall complete with Starbucks, which Shelley dragged me into before a visit to the cinema (not quite treacking in the Andean Mountains)
It was a nice place to spend lunch away from all the smog of Lima and Taxi horns, we ended up drinking far too many Pisco sours with a Dutch guy who claimed to own a string of restaurants in Holland, the more he drank the more restaurants he owned, until finally he staggered off to try and pick up one of the waitresses.
The cinema listings are a couple of months behind the UK so we had to settle for You, Me and Dupree haha
Highlights: Having lunch in the sun overlooking the Pacific
