Arrived in Lima & stayed at the 'Flying Dog' Miraflores. Dumped our bags, looked out of the window out over the plaza to see the Swedish girls standing on a post shouting 'Oooopa, Oopa!) well funny!!!

Messed around changing flights to give us more time in N.Zealand. Managed to get a change done for 1/2 price, good blagging!
Wandered around Miraflores & explored.
Got a taxi to Barranco, wandered around there & found a nice place overlooking the sea where we had a few beers, J had Steins of lager & I had couple of Pina's! Very very expensive Ellie! Taxi back to Miraflores.

Went into the city with the girls for another JJ tour!
Went for a famous Pisco Sour @ Gran Hotel Bolivar, am! Then onto the football pub 'El Estadio Football Club' where all the chairs had names of famous football players on the back, Anja sat in the Freddie Ljunburg seat!!
Wandered around, then the girls shot off back & we went for Chinese Dim Sum in China town (Barrio Chino)!
Back to base
14/02/09 (Valentines Day)
Went for a walk to find the beach & went to a seafood restaurant & ordered Ceviche (the local speciality) by mistake, I thought it sounded like a soup dish because it said it came in a bowl, but it was raw mixed fish marinated in lime juice & chilli! It was actually ok but there was just too much of it & we were looking forward to a nice fish soup!!! Found out later that it's meant to be an afrodisiac!!!
We got back to the hostel & there was a note from the girls saying they would pick us up at 7:30pm to take us out for a thank you meal to thank us for lending them money, well nice! So we went for nice Greek Mezze style food & a few beers then went back to their Loki Hostel for more beers on Valentines day. Lucky JJ valentines with me & 2 Swedish girls! They bought heart shaped balloons,I had to go home early as bad tummy again but J stayed out & drank lots with the girls!
