Tuesday December 4 – on to Lima


This morning there was time to visit the Spanish Cathedral in Cusco – an amazing place – before our ride to the airport. An easy flight to Lima, followed by a cab ride to our hotel in the Miraflores section of the city. The Hotel Antigua Miraflores is a cute place (this is a photo of it), but a far cry from the 5Star treatment we have gotten used to. I think the 3 floor walk up was the hardest part – oh my knees!
We find delicious ceviche for a late lunch, and get a cab to the market area which is overwhelming in size and scope. Every type of Peruvian product and souvenir one could imagine, and we spend hours inspecting all of it. My legs are tired and my knees are beginning to hurt. Larry discovers he left his Amex card back at the lunch restaurant; they are closed by the time we return to get it. He remains cheerful! Later, a light dinner at a nice restaurant close to the hotel, and fun conversation with the bartender over nightcaps, refills free. Early to bed, wake up call at 3:30AM!
