Nine hour bus ride from Huaraz to Lima. A sandwich and coffee to recover. Party until it’s light out.

Lima is surprisingly nice! I am glad I stopped here long enough to find out. It is much quieter than the other Peruvian cities: the taxis seem to actually use their horns for their intended purpose. They have a chargeable card for the trolleybus and it’s easy to use. The parks are pleasant. The streets and sidewalks are straight and wide. There are plenty of pedestrian streets. However, everything is nearly double the price of the rest of Peru.
